Hi
I never said that certification is useless... The fact is that
some institutions try to make money out of it by providing certificates.
The exams conducted for these certificates are quite easy ( I have been
thru one---got fooled once). But if the guy is really interested he should
not stop there saying that he is certified... He can continue to acquire
knowledge and experience further.. This should help him better....much
better than those certificate.
