Many would say they exist within a world of their own. Personally, I would agree.
That’s why I’ve taken to helping people understand the rolls of various type of developer positions including those that have BEA Weblogic (AKA Oracle Weblogic) jobs. A point to remember is that Weblogic can come with a variety of titles even including Aqualogic.
To start let’s find out exactly what a Weblogic 8 or similar type of programmer does? Simply put, Weblogic programmers work on projects from the Weblogic platform.
A recent job posting I found included the following requirements within its documentation.
• Portal Lead with 6-9 years of experience in software development
• Framework and features experience within WebLogic Portal 10.3
• Personalization (skins, themes, layouts)
• Page Flows, Annotations
• Security–UUP/Roles/Entitlements
The terms above may not be familiar to you, since this is an overview of Weblogic that is not a huge issue.
Weblogic education includes familiarity in the following areas:
• BS degree in engineering, MIS, computers or related work experience.
• Experience in web development and development life cycle.
• Develops using the J2EE platform
J2EE platform, what is that?
The following answer came from Webopedia
J2EE is a platform-independent, Java-centric environment from Sun for developing, building and deploying Web-based enterprise applications online.
My conclusion would thus be that those who have learned Java may choose to increase their abilities by becoming versed in the finer points of Weblogic
Understanding the future of the industry of Weblogic is a really good idea before entering into training for this discipline. Weblogic is in demand today and into the foreseeable future especially if you live in one of the following states:
- California
- Texas
- New Jersey
- New York
- Virginia
- Connecticut
Truth be told, many of these states are ripe for a large variety of technology related positions including Weblogic. With the right credentials you may strike a telecommuting opportunity if relocating is not an option for you.
If you happen to live in a state other than above, not to worry it just may be a bit harder to find the best fit you are looking for. For the right price you might even consider relocating in-order to secure a Weblogic opportunity. Typically speaking you can expect anywhere from 46 to 92K for a Weblogic job with many opportunities available in the 70 to 100K range.
Common titles for a Weblogic position include:
• Weblogic Architects
• Weblogic Admins
• Weblogic Developers
Of the 3 the greatest growth appears to be taking place within the realm of Weblogic Developers. Securing Weblogic jobs in other areas than Development is possible though the competition may be a bit more tight.
There are several books worth reading for those that would like more information about Weblogic including:
• WebLogic Server Bible
• J2EE Web Services on WebLogic
• Oracle WebCenter 11g Handbook
• WebLogic 8.1 Unleashed
• J2EE Performance Testing with WebLogic Server
These books and ones like them which feature BEA Weblogic also known as Oracle Weblogic Jobs can be found on Amazon or by Googling the respective titles.
