On Dec 30th I took the exam and passed it, so now I'm off to complete part two. Part two entails my doing an assignment that applies what I learned in part one. Basically, I have to architect a solution to a limited scope problem given to me by Sun. Actually, given is the wrong term, this freggin thing costs $250. Good thing work is paying for it. The deliverables include various UML diagrams and design documentation. This will be an interesting exercise, but hopefully it won't take 100hrs like Sun suggests. </p> <p> Date calculation provided by <a href="http://www.ericburke.com/downloads/dateutil/">DateUtil</a> , an open source package by Eric Burke.
