Hi All,
I took my "Data Structures And Advanced Programming" coursework at
Berkeley back when they taught this in Java 1.1. Since that time I
have kept active in other languages, but haven't delved deeply into
J2EE, for example. I am very interested in JSP/Servlets and the
forthcoming Java HTML Tag Library. Currently my most proficient
language is PHP, where I am applying all my oo theory but finding the
language lacks some hard edges.
In short, I want to get back into Java development work, ideally on
the web. Is getting a Sun Certified Programmer certification going to
help me in this regard? Do employers look seriously at this? Or should
I try to get my foot back into the door through more hands-on
experience? Maybe work on an open-source project for awhile? My skills
are very transferrable and I can pick up the finer points of Java
again quickly. I'm just interested in the most bang for my buck here.
Thanks for your thoughts.
Regards,
Robert
