Straight up: We all laugh at programming certifications. I recently became involved in UW beginning to create a new Ruby Certification program in an attempt to help change that.
The main thing I'm pushing for right now is for the purpose of each and every class to be to add to a student's portfolio. The idea being that a certificate is just a piece of paper, programmers want to see concrete evidence that you can engineer solutions. Given this, I think these classes may be of interest to several of you and I want your input. What would get you psyched to take a course like this? If you're looking to switch to Ruby development, what are your impediments and frictions? We always complain about certifications and how the universities "Just Don't Get It" (tm), so now let's take a moment to propose improvements. :) Justin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Seattle area Alt.Net" group.
