I have been taking some web component courses from Sun to help with the cert exam. I have to say that I really do not understand what is so hard about learning Java/JSP web development and how much weight is given to a certification.

I'm not at all ripping on the technology. I think it's wonderful and really easy to understand. The only difficult part for me was the initial understanding of the J2EE archtecture.

Oh, and getting a decent IDE and TomCat to run on my lousy old system. :cheesy:
