I have been working on Java, Internet related technologies for the past 7 years. I have to start my job search within the next two months. Before that I want to complete MQ and/or Websphere certification.
I am leaning more towards MQ as it may be easy, I dont know. Though I have worked on these two technologies, never gone through documentation from start to end.
Any suggestions of where to start and good resources? TIA,
Edit1: I just saw the sticky thread. I will check that thread too.
Edit2: I may first target for Test 297. Please suggest the approach if any one is already gone/going through the test. |

I fear I know nothing about the certification tests, since I have never found the need to take one; I have no idea how difficult it is, or what is the required reading material - this others will answer. You will find it a Good Thing to search here for "certificate" or "297".
However, I can say with a good deal of assurance that WMQ is not an easy topic to learn - the documentation is quite good, but the material is rather complex. WMQ has a unique worldview of design, which takes a long while of getting used to, and until one has a lot of hands-on practice the general idea is pretty vague.
That said, to learn WMQ you should:
1. Read the Intercommunications manual cover to cover. Twice.
2. Read carefully most of Programming Guide and System Admin Guide.
3. Whatever you read, immediately experience; theoretical questions are irrelevant - you must experiment. WMQ is many times crystal clear on paper, very difficult to grasp in reality.
4. Use the search button on this forum if you have any questions, and if you have tried relentlessly without success to answer it yourself - post a query.
5. Become familiar with the other WMQ family books, with Support Pacs, with Redbooks.
It's a long list, but that's the only way to go about it.
Good luck!  |

No comparison at all. It is not just commands and programming. You need to understand the underlying models too.
Think of it more as J2EE and design patterns than comparing to Java Cert.
Enjoy |
