Newest Developer Certification Track

[MikeM]

Now that Oracle has announced their retirement of Release 1 of the Developer track, does anybody know of a preparation resource for the newest exam (1zO-132 - Forms 6/6i II)?
STS says they're still in development for their test and don't yet have a release date.
Many thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,

I wrote (& passed) this exam in the Beta state in August. You can quite handily use the Release 2 CBT/TBTs and STS files to prepare for this. You do need to supplement that with a little bit of reading on Oracle Objects support in Rel. 6/6i - but that was maybe 20 pages out of a current book.

You need to pay careful attention to the downloaded test objective lists for each certification. Some topics covered in Rel. 2 are completely left out on the Rel. 6 list and they do NOT appear on the exam!

Other than that though, it is 95% there in the release 2 stuff. This is why there is no upgrade exam required between the two releases. Once you have Rel. 2 certification you automatically have Rel. 6/6i as well.

Drop me a line if you are looking for more resources for this at [email protected]. Hope this helps a bit!
