I read the article in Datanews and got exited. Keeping your knowledge up-to-date is a good chalenge and indeed the SUN certification does not test interesting technologies like Hibernate, Struts, Spring, ...

BUT after visiting the site and getting one error after the other, I got disappointed. Why make a lot of fuss about something that doesn't work yet?

Hi David,

The release of JavaBlackBelt has been scheduled for JavaPolis (next Monday). When I realized that JavaNews would be published before JavaPolis, I ran crasy !
By the way, we deployed a new version tonight that begins to work.
But a more usable-stable version will come out Monday, for the JavaPolis BOF. that will be the Beta.

That's only the starting point, after that, the question DB has to be filled in. As you know everyone will be welcome to add his questions.

After JavaPolis, we'll also add questions. Expect to have a respectable DB within 2 months.
