[BangPypers] Planning a startup hiring hackathon in Mumbai
Hi fellow pythonist(a)s, A bunch of young, exciting startups in Mumbai are looking to hold a hackathon there, with hiring being an obvious intent. Wondering if the python community on this group is broad in geo+interest enough that it would be ok to post information about it here. If not, and if some of you would be interested in getting updates about the hackathon (or startup openings in Mumbai in general) please reply to me 1-1.

Hi Parul It is completely ok to post the details of the event in brief with link to hackathon. AFAIK there are few pythonistas from Mumbai in the group.

[BangPypers] Python certifications in India
Hi, Is there any international certification for Python like we have ISTQB for testing, Oracle certifications for JAVA, etc. Regards, Abhijit Bangera www.geektech.in ___ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
Re: [BangPypers] Python certifications in India
There's one, from coursera, though, that's not an industrial certification.

Re: [BangPypers] Python certifications in India
Is there anyone or any company here that actually values a certificate for Python? In my experience, certification courses mean nothing, at least for Python developers. None of the people I know or have worked with, cares about a certificate. I'd love to meet someone who thinks otherwise.

I'd love to pmeet someone who thinks otherwise. [...] Some companies sell products that require a lot of expertise for the end user (e.g. Cisco). Configuring their equipment/software can be a full time task in itself. If the company themselves do this for their end clients, they'll get a services component bolted onto their product and that will affect their long term plans. However, if they can create some kind of qualification in the market and provide material for that, people unassociated with the company will try to get it and will become employable. In that sense, certifications do have value. Given two people of roughly equal experience, if I were hiring someone to watch over a network of Cisco gear, I'd pick the one who has a Cisco certification. Language certifications don't really fall into this but I suppose when the ecosystem is large enough (e.g. Java), you can cut off a piece and certify people in that department. It will have marketing value for a class of clients. Python doesn't (yet) come under this category so I don't think there are any certifications in India. I don't know many people who use Python that would consider a certificate as something valuable. The only certificate course for Python that I know of is the O'Reilly one. [1].
