SCWCD

Posted in cert, java by pedro | Wednesday, July 11th, 2007 at 11:37 pm

Lately I’m involved in too much things and my blog is in the last place. I’ve just passed Sun SCWCD exam. The strange thing about it is that I’m using this technology every day, so when I decided to pass exam I was thinking it’ll very easy. Than I started preparing and I realized that I didn’t know many features of servlet 2.4 and JSP 2.0 technology.

I think that nowadays it’s rare to use pure JSP; we have so many template languages, helpers from web frameworks and so on. Also other stuff is rarely used because of frameworks. For example did everybody know XML directive such so it was very refreshing to pass this exam.
