IT field is a booming field and has excellent prospects for everyone. It is clear that learning programming languages open up endless opportunities. Java is a mainstream programming language that is used to make programming and applications. Core Java is an object-oriented programming language, which has easy syntax and functions. Implemented in several platforms extending from embedded devices to mobile phones and industry servers and computers, its presence is felt everywhere. Here in this article, let me help you decide why you should learn Java programming over other languages.

Oracle's Java platform is one of the most broadly accepted platforms in the IT industry.

Q 1. I am an Experienced Developer. Would You Suggest Me Get Oracle Java Certified?

The answer is sure, as long as you have the motivation and clear expectations. I was an experienced Java Developer when I decided to start preparing to get the Java Programmer certification. My primary motivation was to increase and appraise my knowledge of the Java language. I can tell you that once you start preparing, you quickly get to realize that the time you occupy doing it is by no means wasted, but instead very valuable. I assure you that even if you’re an experienced programmer you’re going to learn new and exciting things, not only about the unique features of the language you still don’t identify but also about some things you consider you, master.

Oracle has approximate 420,000 customers in 145 countries, more than 130,000 employees and generates more than $37 billion in revenues.

Throughout, Oracle has developed a broad certification program. Currently, it includes five certification levels, spans ten general categories and offers more than 200 credentials. Seeing the depth and breadth of the program, and the number of Oracle customers, it's not amazement that Oracle certifications are highly the sought after.

Cloud computing is being used by more organizations worldwide, both large and small. As growth predictions emerge, we're seeing a clearer picture of what the near future of IT will look like. The global cloud services market size was valued at $209.9 billion in 2014, and is expected to reach $555 billion by 2020, growing at a CAGR of 17.6% during the forecast period 2014–2020.

As you would expect, many of those jobs are with cloud infrastructure or service providers, though there are plenty of other potential employers as well. Quite a few job openings mention specific certifications. Others don’t, but you can bet that having an appropriate credential on your resume will help boost you to the top of the “to interview” list.

Even though you might not feel an immediate need to become a cloud expert, given these trends, it's a good idea to start thinking about developing skills that will be in demand in the near future.
