I myself am working on my MCAD.NET. After obtaining that(just one more test to go!)I plan on certifying myself in CFMX. I've looked into other certs, but can't justify them in helping me in my current line of work.
I really like the .NET Framework, and the MCAD is just 3 tests. Plus, check out this link: http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1104-978922.html I also obtained Brainbench certs in SQL and ASP, but they don't do much :-) - Gary Sullivan -----Original Message----- From: John Paul Ashenfelter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 06, 2003 12:53 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: certification experiences/plans? Hi all, With the start of the new year, I'm reevaluating my tech certification plans for the coming year and was wondering what the most common certifications were in the CF-Talk world. I'm guessing there's a lot of CF5/CFMX certs but I'm more interested in the others that people have gotten: the Microsoft certs (MCSE, MCSD, MCDBA, etc); the Cisco certs (CCNA, CCDA, etc), Sun (java developer/programmer/architect), Oralce, CIW, the new MySQL core, etc. (not brainbench -- I'm talking about the 'official' cert programs from the company itself). So, what do you have? What are you working on? What is worthwhile/worthless? And how many of you have recertified under CFMX? I'll start by saying I'm not a big fan of certs, but understand they are a necessary evil, especially in a field where anyone can basically say "I'm a web developer/DBA/C++ programmer/etc" and have a few dot.com references :) So my plans for the year are open, but probably are leaning towards databases (MCDBA, Oracle) and security (Cisco). And now that I finally went and got certified last year for CF, I'll reup the CFMX *grin*.
