Developers.

There are those that would say they live in a totally different world. I agree.

I’ve made it my goal is help people better understand those that live in the world of BEA Weblogic (AKA Oracle Weblogic) and other such disciplines. A point to remember is that Weblogic can come with a variety of titles even including Aqualogic.

First, we need to understand what a Weblogic 8 or similar type of programmer does? The easy answer is that they develop projects using Weblogic technologies.

For more detail, let’s take a look at a list of requirements on a recent job posting announcement.

• Weblogic Lead possessing 6-9 years of software development experience
• WebLogic 10.3 framework and features
• Personalization (skins, themes, layouts)
• Page Flows and Annotations
• Security — Roles/Entitlements/UUP

This is an overview of the world of Weblogic, so if you don’t understand the terms above do not give them a second thought.

In short, Weblogic includes the following types of training:

• BS in engineering, computers, MIS or work related experience.
• Experience in web development and development life cycle.
• Able to develop on the J2EE platform

What exactly is a J2EE platform?

Turning to Webopedia I found the following answer

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

Before investing time and money in the pursuit of a Weblogic position, it would be good to know what the forecast for Weblogic job search possibilities are. According to research I uncovered there is indeed a need for Weblogic developers in today’s industry with the following states offering the lion’s share of these types of positions:

• Virginia
• Connecticut
• California
• New Jersey
• Texas
• New York

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.

This is not saying that Weblogic jobs are not available elsewhere, they may just be a bit more challenging to find. Another alternative would be to consider moving locations especially if an offer for a higher paying Weblogic job is presented. Salary ranges can be found anywhere from 46 to 100K within the Weblogic industry.

Common titles for a Weblogic position include:

• Weblogic Architects
• Weblogic Admins
• Weblogic Developers

Weblogic Developers appear to have the best opportunities moving into the future. Securing Weblogic jobs in other areas than Development is possible though the competition may be a bit more tight.

Books to consider purchasing to find out more about the finer points of Weblogic would include but certainly not be limited to:

• WebLogic Server Bible
• J2EE Web Services on WebLogic
• Oracle WebCenter 11g Handbook
• WebLogic 8.1 Unleashed
• J2EE Performance Testing with WebLogic Server

To find any of the above books or ones like them you can do a query for the title on Google or at Amazon.
