It appears that it is almost submission time for the sun certified developer assignment. I have built my application using Java 1.6.
It is quite strange to be building an application like this again, it is very similar to being at university. Only no tutors or lecturers answering questions or running labs. But there is still an emphasis on writing good clean code and documenting it well. Working environments tend to be more concerned about the finished product than the underlying implementation; everyone likes a finished product.
Anyway, it will be good to get this part of the project submitted.
Unfortunately I can not upload my project via the prometric testing portal. Probably because I didn’t think there was a time limit on the project and my application has either expired or been lost. And to make things less convenient the sun ed secure website is taking forever, or perhaps it is just internet in New Zealand with xtra?
Update: Perhaps it is a database issue at the Sun end?
The connection to our customer database is temporarily down.
You may create a Temporary Account if you want to continue with the online purchase. This Temporary Account will be merged with your existing account when our database is operational. We will contact you with your order number when this is done.
Update: I emailed Prometric/Sun support and they have set up my access so I can submit my assignment, but they recommend doing this and then booking in for the essay exam at a testing centre – which leaves me a pretty tight time frame.
