Web service certification: SCDJWS

A couple of months back, Sun announced a new certification program for Web Services, called the Sun Certified Developer for Java Web Services (SCDJWS, exam number CX-311-220). This test is still in beta and is not available to the general public.

There are bunch of resource sites for the exam out already- watch out for exam preparation books anytime now!

For those interested, some references:

• The announcement mail from Sun, with testing objectives
• A study guide for SCDJWS, maintained by Mikalai Zaikin
• An introduction to SCDJWS, currently only a list of Web Service specifications that are covered in the test
• A Yahoo group for the test, just under 200 members but not much activity
• There is even an ambitiously named 'SCDJWS Certification Center' that has the above mentioned resource links, a buy-from-Amazon button for a Web service book, and lots of text ads courtesy Google.
