Question

What is a Sun Certified Java Architect? How can I become one?

Answer

Developers who have achieved a Sun Certified Java Programmer, or Sun Certified Java Developer title may want to consider becoming a certified architect. Software architecture encompasses a broad range of technologies and techniques such as :-

• object oriented analysis and design (OOAD)
• Unified Modeling Language (UML)
• Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs)
• large scale system design
• Java 2 Enterprise Edition technologies such as CORBA/RMI
• internationalization and security 

These are very complex topics, and only experienced developers should sit for the certification exam. You'll definitely want to pick up a study guide that covers the architect exam before proceeding further.
