Java and the Certification The certification for the Java programmer and developer courses are done by Sun approved independed institutes (more info see Sun educational Services). 

The sad thing is that we don't know what to expect of these exams. Therefor I learned from my mistakes and mistakes to be made. This part of our site is dedicated to the Java Certification Exams, to be more exact it is devoted to "the answer that you might get". Also while hunting for the complete list of answer on the I'net I bumped into all kinds of crap, concerning books and offers. But the needles in the haystack that I found, I've added to this collection of exams, so that you are prepared in some extend. 

By the way! If you have nothing else to do try the Terras Game.
