I'm very interested in Java, and I would very much like to work with
Java as a professional programmer. I have a degree as an electronics
engineer (from 1996), but unfortunately, I can't get a job as a
programmer with this diploma, because it is to old, and courses in
modern OOP are missing.

What should I do to get a Certificate as a Java (2) programmer? -I've
heard that Sun Microsystems have examination as "Sun Certified Java 2
Programmer" and "Sun Certified Java 2 Developer".

I think, that I could study Java 2 at home with my own computer (With
Suns Java 2 SDK), and then go to the examinations later. How is it
working with these examinations? -Where is it possible to take these
examinations, and how much does it cost?

I would be vary happy, if someone could tell me something about this.

Rgds,
Peter C
