All About Weblogic Portal Careers

Programmers.

There are those that would say they live in a totally different world. They've got my vote.

I've taken it upon myself to help lead people into understanding of BEA Weblogic (AKA Oracle Weblogic) jobs. For the record, Weblogic job titles can actually come in a variety of titles 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.

Here is a list of qualifications I found on a recent announcement for a new job.

• Portal Lead with 6-9 years of experience in software development
• WebLogic 10.3 framework and features
• Personalization (skins, themes, layouts)
• Page Flows and 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.

Generally speaking Weblogic training includes:

• BS degree in computer, engineering, MIS or equivalent job experience.
• Knowledge of the development life cycle and Web development.
• J2EE platform developing

J2EE platform, what is that?

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

Understanding the future of the industry of Weblogic is a really good idea before entering into training for this discipline. 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:

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

These locations are rich with technology related opportunities including Weblogic. With the right credentials you may strike a telecommuting opportunity if relocating is not an option for you.

Finding Weblogic jobs elsewhere is possible though the challenge could be a bit more fierce. Or you may need to consider a move, especially if you are able to secure one of the higher paying opportunities that Weblogic jobs offer. 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. Weblogic positions are available beyond that of Developers though they may be harder to find and secure.

For a deeper look at Weblogic consider purchasing a book on the subject like:

• 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.
