Developer TV Back to School with SDN Channel

Did you know that Sun-certified programmers earn more than the average certified IT professional?* What better reason to get started with your programming career.

This month we have a great collection of tools and resources, especially selected for students and beginning developers. Find out why Java is the programming language of choice for college students today. Our experts have some great ideas for you on how to get started. So, be sure to watch the video and explore the Show Notes.

I really enjoyed the interview with Ian Utting, Sr. Lecturer at University of Kent. He had such great things to say on how to get started. Did you know he was one of the founding members on the BlueJ development team? Very cool stuff to learn there, especially if you're new to Java and trying to figure out what's the best way to get started.

My personal favorite is the interview with Sang Shin, Java Technology Architect and Evangelist. He certainly has a passion for Java technology, and it shows. Sang not only has great insight on how to teach Java, but he also has great recommendations on how to get your first job - what employers are looking for and how to build up your credentials with experience and certification

We want to hear from you! Send us your comments, let us know if you like the new format or have an idea for a topic.
