I took the Java 2 Developers Exam back in 2003, the same month I finished my coursework for my Bachelor’s degree in Digital Communication. I’d taken several courses in java (the language itself as well as client-server programming), purchased a certification prep guide, and went for it! I passed, got my sheet of paper and have barely touched java since.
Now I have my sights set on the Flex 2 Developer Exam. As a newer technology, there aren’t all the online tests and prep guides that there were for java. I am enrolled in a training course now, but I don’t know that I will attend any further courses. This is obviously going to be a self-driven effort!
I am at the stage right now where with my Flex hammer, everything looks like a nail. I am looking for every opportunity to use flex, but I know I need to keep in mind its strengths and benefits. My portfolio is incredibly outdated (I created in during a 6 week course during that same undergrad program mentioned above), but I don’t know that it’s ‘rich’ enough to warrant developing in flex. I was also thinking about developing my own prep guide for the certification exam in flex, but before embarking on that, I want to ensure it really is an appropriate format. Certainly it would give me some more experience using flex, but I don’t know if a study guide is really a) an application, b) rich. I will have to think about this some more..
