Certifications

As a certification book author, I've taken a number of certification exams. Here's the full list.  Before 2010, I took a bunch of BrainBench exams as well. 

Aside from my Java cert books, I've created study notes/references for a number of them. The most popular are:

• AWS Developer Associate (2019)

• AWS Practitioner (2019)

• Jenkins

• Core Spring (3.X) - this is old, but apparently people still use it
