Java EE is very vague. I would say that if you work with Java, you should be familiar with the Spring Framework and Hibernate.

JSP and JSF sucks, Apache Wicket rocks!

* Virtualization. The term refers to the practice of running multiple servers on a single piece of hardware, increasing efficiency and conserving energy.

This is definitely becoming the "in thing" for the government sector. I love playing around with VMs.

Whatever you’re reading now will be obsolete by the time you can act on it. I was actually told when I was learning how to use a keypunch machine that I’d never hurt for work in IT. I swear I’m not making that up.

I’m just your basic tech support geek with over 10 yrs experience and have been looking for work in Rockford, IL for 9 months. I’m too far from Chicago and/or Madison to get considered (I’ve been told outright that I live too far away). I have to quit my job (so no unemployment) every time my husband gets transferred (every 2-3 years in automotive and THAT’S a whole other exercise in frustration). This time I’m out in the cold. I would become a housewife but I’m really bad at it. Thanks ZERO for all that hope and change!

I’ll have CISSP down in a little while here. I’ll have some good VM experience soon, too.

Finally, some good news.

For any FReepers looking to go for a CISSP certification, this article really skims over the details:

1) You have to get a 700 or higher on the CISSP exam. That's 250 multiple choice questions in a six-hour time block (cost is about $500). It's a bear, but it's doable. I highly recommend the Shon Harris book/DVD to learn what you need to pass.

2) You must have five years of experience in two of the ten CISSP security domains. My prior experience has been all Army Infantry. Obviously no real computer stuff there, but plenty of physical security and operations security. This experience must be written up in a CISSP resume and submitted to...

3) A current certified CISSP. He/she will then go over your resume and submit it along with his/her recommendation to ISC2 to certify you as a CISSP.

But it's not over yet.

4) You must record 120 continuing professional education credits every 3 years and pay $85/year in "maintenance fees."

"One category in big demand now is basic computer skills, which will get you hired at the entry level."

Once Gibbs gets the boot, this guy can walk right in.
