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.

about me

My name is Sebastian Pietrowski. I've finished Warsaw University as Master degree. I started my journey with Java 1.1 with Thread and JDBC programing in 1998 as I worked for merlin.pl. In 1999 I've passed Java Programer Certificate for Java 1.2, and was solution architect of merlin.pl infrastructure when we was moving from pl/sql to J2EE. It was great performance optimization with 10 times more req/sec than in requirements and 85 times faster as original solution.

Currently I work as Expert Software Development Java at F.Hoffmann-La Roche. The company was founded in 1896 and today, Roche employs over 80.000 people. After work I'm involved in activities related to Scala/Lift, Ruby/Rails/Merb, Python/Django. This is because I try to be pragmatic also I'm focused on application performance and tuning with success in my daily work.
