Sustainable Software Engineering: Input Requested!

The Foojay community has a strong tradition around the creation of content on all things Java and OpenJDK. Since about a year ago, the community has a group of people that are working on a book with tips and information on Sustainable Software Engineering. For some of the topics in the book, we are looking for data to either support claims that are made, or inform us on the best direction to write a topic.

The recent announcement of Foojay’s intention to create a community-driven certification exam for Java software development has spurred a lot of interest. This article explains how any member of the Java community can participate in the creation of tasks for the certification.

In the previous article about the Foojay Developer Certification, we introduced the need for an objective way to measure the skills of Java developers. While there are many assessments and certifications that test the theoretical knowledge of a developer, very few measure the practical ability to write code, find and fix bugs and apply proper design principles. As a community, we have a large collection of de facto best practices and common sense about what makes a developer good at their job. That is why we need your help in creating a certificate that actually communicates a Developer’s skill.
