Hey Thiru,
Really glad you cleared the exam.. Im going to give it a try as well in Jan 2017.. Just wanted to know from a study point of view, did any past coding experience help with this certification? I mean is it an absolute necessity for one to know programming inside out to clear the exam or are concepts good enough? I come from a strong infra background and know basics of Java and PHP..
