I think certifications have value. They establish a baseline of knowledge regarding syntax, familiarity with the language, and some knowledge as to how the language works (the CF exam has some very fun and sometimes tricky questions dealing with evaluation).
They should _not_, however, be taken as a statement that the person has any idea how to actually use the language to solve a business problem in an efficient manner. I'd really like to see a seperate Advanced ColdFusion MX 7 certification that focused on best practices and possibly some architectural concepts. -Joe On Tue, 15 Feb 2005 09:39:28 -0500, Michael T.
