Get Sun Certified for the Java1.4 platform! Now that I've got it, I can recommend it (yes, this is where I've been hiding out for the past few months). I highly recommend this book from Amazon.com to help you study for the Sun Certified Programmer's exam for Java 1.4 (310-035).

If you already have your java certification, be sure to check out SunEd's other certification programs.
