The Sun Certified Enterprise Architect (SCEA) exam represents the culmination of Sun's certification program for the Java™ community. This session covers the newly revised SCEA certification that was released in the first quarter of calendar year 2008. In this session attendees will learn about the three parts of the exam and what they test. They will also learn the following:

• Who is the target audience for the exam
• Which exam rumors are true and which are false
• Tips for exam preparation, including preparation materials
• Tips for taking each part of the exam

We will cover how the exam has been completely rewritten to cover the Java EE 5 platform, the design decisions that went into the new exam and the rationale and motivation behind them (and how this affects candidates). Perennial exam rumors will be detailed and addressed, we'll dig through the mountain of potential revision material to single out the most relevant books, specifications and articles to focus on and we'll provide practical tips on how best to approach parts one, two and three of the exam.

If you are interested in becoming a Sun certified enterprise architect, this session is definitely for you. If you haven't considered architect certification before, stop by anyway - you'll learn what becoming a Sun Java EE 5 architect can bring you and how effective the exam preparation is in rounding you out as a Java EE 5 architect. This event was a highlight of the JavaOne conference in May 2008.
