I'm on SAI yes, been through a few modules on it too and would be using it for a good revision source - I'll have another look there tonight.

Don't know if any of you are using this over summer but seems like the best place.

Do you know where to go to actually sit the certification exams in the UK (with the discounted price)? I'm down in London just now and want to sit the java associate and SQL administrator exams soon and then moving forward with the SE6 and SQL developer exams in the coming months

Some of Sun's Campus Ambassador team, including Andrew McFarlane from Edinburgh, attended Sun's European Education & Research Conference last month and have been blogging about their experiences - there's some interesting stuff on there.

Have a look: http://blogs.sun.com/eerc2009/

I'm still waiting on absolute confirmation on this, but it looks like Michael Clarke will be joining us in two weeks time for our Introduction to Netbeans event. Mark the date in your diaries - it should be a blast (and you'll know exactly what I mean by that if you come along!).

There are a couple of videos online from the kickoff event now - handy if you missed the event and want to know more about the OSUM and SAI programs. Check out the 'videos' tab at the top!
