As a senior instructor and courseware developer for Sun Microsystems, Simon developed and delivered Java training courses for Sun Educational Services’ internal and external customers. While at Sun, he was a guest presenter at JavaOne, Java University, and other software trade shows. Simon’s most significant accolade was his work as the development lead in the design, development, and review of the Sun Certified Java Programmer (SJCP), Sun Certified Java Developer (SCJD), and the Sun Certified Java Architect (SCJA) certification exams. His expertise in Java and teaching allowed him to write one of the all-time best-selling Java books.
Since then, Simon has been an active contributor to the Java development community, particularly in the most recent redesign of the Java EE certification programs that are part of Oracle University. When Simon is not teaching, speaking at JavaOne, or researching new technologies, he’s out teaching people how to fly planes.
Simon is a Sun Certified Java Programmer, developer and architect, and has recently delivered training to Halliburton, Yahoo!, Mattel, and SRA International.
