I think that's a pretty pessimistic outlook for cert....... wow... if a book coming out convinces you all of a sudden your cert will be "paper", ..... wow...
I can't explain it, but that comment really bums me out....... I can't believe all of this talk about "paper" this and "paper" that...... geez, a book comes out for a cert and already someone (that has the damn cert) is already calling it paper....... I guess I've always been under the impression that the PERSON that was "shoddily" certified (studied to pass a test instead of learning the material) was a "paper" whatever.... i.e. someone that passed the CCNA just by sheer memorization after barrelling thru practice exams was a "paper CCNA" as opposed to someone who actually learned all of the information..... Seriously, it sounds to me like your concern isn't "paper" anything, it's that you won't be the only one with CSS1/CCIP or whatever....... I have to ask "Did you really think that you'd be the 'only' one with that certification forever?" I guess the reason your comment bums me out is because you're implying that just because there are study materials for a book (especially one from Sybex with the Lammle name on it) that it will be so common that you "can get a CSS! with my soba and Sushi down at the 7/11"..... Do you really think that one book will have that much of an impact? I appreciate you feelings, and I didn't intend for this post to be an "attack" on you.... I guess I'm just stunned that your outlook for the value of a cert could be affected by just one book so much.....
