Re: Entry-level Requirements(application developer)

Yes.

But if I were interviewing you here would be my criteria in order from most important to least.

1. Can you solve a word problem using boolean logic?
2. Do you understand relational databases and normalization?
3. Have you invested time and effort into learning SQL and PL/SQL. And can you use it to solve a problem as opposed to remembering the syntax of the INSTRING function that anyone could look up in a book.

To me a computer science degree and the OCP say little if anything about these criteria.
