Thanks guys for all of your feedback. Since there's a glut of programmers out there and I'm simply looking for ways to "seperate" myself from the rest of the programmers who may be mis-representing them.
I thought in this case, macromedia certification may be able to seperate those 2 groups. My web site contains all the online portfolio, resume, snapshots and everything employers may need to know about me. Again, it's just to seperate myself from other candidates. I agree with some of you that this is just one item and I'm looking for this certification to "show" the employers what I am capable unlike other developers who can talk their way into any job but can't do diddly poo with coding.
