Wow!!! Finally I have started writing my own blog on my own domain. It feels nice. I will start with one of my most happiest moments of life which is passing Oracle Certified Master, Java EE 5 Enterprise Architect certification(OCMJEA), previously known as Sun Certified Enterprise Architect (SCEA).
On Dec 08 2011, I received the most awaited email from Oracle.
Hi Shashikant, Congratulations! You have passed the Oracle Certified Master, Java EE 5 Enterprise Architect certification. You are among the elite 1% of certified Java professionals who have gone on to achieve the Java Enterprise Architect certification. . . . ..... I was reading the email again and again, just to make sure that I am not in dream but then I realized that it was reality. After waiting for almost 10 weeks I was very excited. It is one of the most happiest moments of life. Finally the efforts paid through. I spent many sleepless nights in preparing for this certification for a reason that Oracle was introducing the mandatory course from Oct 01 2011 and I wanted to clear the certification before that. I got very less time for preparation due to office work load and having 2 children who are very demanding.
Here are my details
