I think they are an asset, but if given a choice between someone with certifications and no experience and someone with no certifications but ample experience, I'd take the latter.</p> <p>I think they are very useful to keep yourself up to date on the language and to keep yourself learning.</p> As a manager, I feel that certifications demonstrate the basic knowledge you need to program in Java and a desire to be a programmer.

I think they are very useful to keep yourself up to date on the language and to keep yourself learning.

It's one of those things you know is not atomic, but is very nearly atomic and you don't expect your world to come crashing down if you use it. But guess what, your world will come crashing down!</p> <p>Thanks for this thorough discussion of why it's not atomic.</p> <p>Neal, there is also AtomicInteger which would fit better with the examples (as they are all ints).</p> I finally managed to observe the lack of atomicity of the ++ operator in the wild today.

Neal, there is also AtomicInteger which would fit better with the examples (as they are all ints).

One thing which hurt the value of these certification is availability of so called dumps and people use it everywhere. So,I feel if you fail to impress the interviewer he/she will probably think that you got your certification by studying those dumps. Even if someone get good score without dumps but have no real experience does not gain any real experience from studying for these certifications. But i believe strongly that studying for certifications does get you some valuable knowledge even if you are having experience in the technology.</p> In my opinion Sun certification are helpful to freshers to get to the interviewer.But you have to prove your worth at the interview.

This especially true if you are a not a computer graduate. It certainly puts your resumes above those who are not certified. But if you are an experienced java programmer with more than 5 years of experience, then you do not need this.</p> Sun certification helps fresh candidates who are just out of their college.
