Bootcamps are all about teaching specific skills, tools or technologies over a limited time span in a zero-distraction environment. Live feedback from instructors about exam questions, topics, problem-solving skills, comprehensive certification information and access to the latest systems, servers and other hardware adds value to the classroom experience.

Sun Certifications are well recognized in the developers' community. Sun has a range of certifications starting from the entry-level Sun Certified Java Programmer (SCJP) to high-level certifications such as Sun Certified Enterprise Architect (SCEA).
One of the reasons why Sun Certifications are so popular is that the exams are generally viewed as fairly challenging. Keeping up with the technological developments, Sun now offers Sun Certified Mobile Application Developer (SCMAD) Certification, which tests your skills in the wireless technologies.

Sun has identified 3 job profiles for those working with Java. You can choose the profile depending on your current working domain or the domain you wish to diversify into.

Programmer: Anyone who has a basic understanding of Java (Standard Edition) and can write code for well-defined design applications can be a programmer and the corresponding certification is SCJP.

Developer: An SCJP having good knowledge of design principles and competence to apply them to develop large software applications can be a developer. The certifications that can strengthen the career path of a developer are SCWCD, SCBCD, and SCMAD.

Architect: For an experienced java professional designing or aspire to design large enterprise systems with dozens, or hundreds of servers, the right certification would be SCEA or Sun Certified Enterprise Architect. .
