Traveling the ladder of Sun Certification

Below is the Ladder of Java certification. I have now completed the java ladder of Java SE which is in orange below.  Doing these certification below shows you more of java's ability to makes your application development easier and more maintainable.

Through doing the the Java SE certifications I have learnt more about to write proper java code. Make it more readable through breaking classes into more methods. Document more with javadoc. Understand the key words used in java. Also that you know how to turn requiements into features that the customer will want.

Doing the SCJP exam every time the new java API is released is important. It shows you what is new in the release and also tests that you understand the new features.

I will be taking the SCJP 1.7 upgrade exam when it is out.
