Java 2018 certifications

This document provides information about Oracle Java certifications. It discusses the Associate, Programmer, Expert, and Master certification levels. For each level, it provides details on the exams, objectives, costs, study materials, and prerequisites. It emphasizes practicing the "2 minute rule" to develop an internal IDE and quickly recognize patterns during exams. The goal is to spot issues, determine if code will compile, and identify one's weaknesses. The document outlines the process for booking exams, assignment and essay requirements for the Master certification, and rules around retaking exams.

Oracle Java Certifications @rorypreddy @bbdsoftware
Part 1 - Background • A “little” bit about me – SCJP in 2004 – Started my first Study Group in 2006 – Studied with 150 java developers last year – In December 2014, BBD obtained Java Standard and EE specialisations
Why Certify? • 10,000,000 java developers in the world • 800,000 have a java certification • 30,000 new certifications per year • Youngest was a 10 year old from India who studied under candle light • Oracle.com states certifications give you either: A. more money B. a promotion or C. better skills
Why Certify? • But seriously, why Certify? – Earning Potential - Java is in high demand – Focus on your talents and mitigate your weaknesses – Join the group initiative – Sharpen your mind • 2 minute rule – compilation, exceptions, novelty, flag
The problem statement • Did “High level languages” solved Accidental complexity? -Brooks • Test it – take away your IDE • We still have: – “Immediacy” • “The decay of the grasp of all that is going on in a complex system”. – “Recency effect” • “Remember the last few things better than the things in the middle or the beginning of a time period”.
Solution – the “What” • Create an “Internal IDE” – Learn language rules – Spot patterns – Apply them against time – Practise often!
The “How” 2 minute rule • Quick glance – 30 Secs – What are they trying to test i.e. what is the novelty – Have you seen similar patterns and what was the outcome – Is it Syntactically sound - Does it compile – Am I weak in this area? – Flag • What is the output? – 90 Secs – Does it throw an Exception? – Flag • Review – Keep track of time and number of flags
