This week I received an e-mail from one of my colleagues, asking if there were people that would join him in his quest to get the SCJD certification. Some colleagues (before I got to work for the company, so unfortunately I was not one of them) did the same earlier for the SCJP certification.
Because one of my personal goals was to get SCJP certified this year, I could not resist and added some extra weight to that: get SCJP certified A.S.A.P. so that I can join the collective initiative to become SCJD certified. This year.
Fortunately I’m not the only one that still needs to get his SCJP first, so that enlarges the chance that I will have some more time to actually study for it and do an examination with positive outcome.
So if the software world would be so kind to come to a screeching halt, so I don’t get distracted and can maintain focus, thank you very much. After my certification you can all continue with what you were doing before that: producing too much interesting, distracting software that needs to be installed or tried once, or at least having the specs looked at.
