Hi, I work with a Government department with a mandate to spread FOSS/OSS in both formal and non-formal education sector. We are planning to introduce a web deployment certification. A person may be a specialist in say RDBMS or design, but if he is able to deploy his applications (especially open source) - he stands a much better chance of being recruited or getting work. I had proposed testing in a hands on session the ability to:
1. Set up virtual host with apache/nginx/lighty 2. Set up and RDBMS 3. Use a 'P' language for business logic 4. Build a front end CSS/HTML/JS 5. Store the code in a repository 6. Set up a bugtracking system 7. Demonstrate basic knowledge of the HTTP protocol Programming ability per se will not be tested. I am getting a lot of flak saying: 'this is not what industry wants'. I would appreciate any feedback from django-users (we are also, in the next phase, contemplating a django certification). I know this is somewhat OT, but after all it *is* in the cause of promoting Open Source so please forgive me. -- regards kg http://lawgon.livejournal.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
