Hi. I am an amateur Java enthusiast. I currently work as a carpenter
and I moonlight on the weekends as a photographer. I'm trying to
transition a career change.
Which Java exam should I start with? Programmer? Or Developer?
How much of the exam will rely on memorization? How much will be from
programming skill? How do they measure my programming ability from one
exam?

I see that you are following your own advice, imbecile!

And you call me clueless.
Case closed!

Thanks Todd!
But I think you could give him a blue moon's time and he wouldn't figure it
out...

Sun have their tests administered through prometric they have affiliated
testing centres, mine was just 3 miles away, next closest was about 20 miles
away, so that gives you some idea of the spread.

Mike,
Just out of curiosity, where does one go to take the Java Programmer Exam?
Is this something that can be done online? Or is it in a testing center?
Maybe one day I'll be confident enough to take this test :-)
Thanks,
Kevin

The Programmer Exam is prerequisite to everything else (well, except the
Architect Exam, but it is way beyond most people). Therefore, it has to be
the first exam to take.

Memorization can possibly get you pass the Programmer Exam, because it is
all Multiple Guesses. To continue, you need real programming knowledge.
Furthermore, most hiring manager in the real world do not measure your
ability by the certification alone. They are more interested in your
"actual working" experience.
Hope this helps.

You must do programmer 1st, passing it is a requirement for the developer
exam.
The programmer 1.4 version is less about memory that the 1.2 exam as some
big library specific stuff has been dropped (ie IO & GUI), but the
questions are probably a little more demanding, eg Threads.
The developer exam tests ability to put together your own design.
Programmer exam is multiple choice (with the odd short answer).
Developer is a no time limit project and an essay exam that tests your
critique of your design. But there are at least 3 options after programmer,
for instance there is Web Component Developer for J2EE.

PLEASE EXPLAIN how this question is topical in:
rec.woodworking
rec.photo.digital
rec.photo.equipment.35mm
DO NOT CROSS-POST. Choose ONE newsgroup. Ask ONE question. Await a reply.

Nice to see that one slightly critical reply can unleash the true
nature of some newsgroup posters.
Dear cunnilingus, show some dignity man. Attitudes like yours make
the world suck, think about it.

1. That would be the same imbecile that cross-posted his reply, in order to
join the ranks of the congenitally hypocritical?
1. Required if one expects to reach the original cross-poster. Cross-posters
regularly set followups to nonexistent or unvisited newsgrousp to avoid the
consequences of their own misbehavior. O clueless one.
