Core Java and latest technologies
<p>I have learned core Java and wanted to apply it through some project.  I also wanted to know, what is the importance of certification courses like SCJP?  Is it necessary to get certified? What languages and techonogies are in demand now (or will be in the future) so that it could make my curriculum vitae look heavy and help me in getting placements in companies like Microsoft, IBM, Google, Yahoo!, etc.?</p>
