Hi All,
I don't know whether to post this here or not, but i really need your views.
I just want to know that how effective is Palm Certification ?
Should i go for it or not ?
I am in dilema , please send your views so that i can set my vision.

certification for any platform is always a good idea.

the palm certification exams are very pre-garnet specific; written
back before ARM devices were available on the market - the exams
focus on the basic platform architetcure; which, palmsource has
kept compatability support in ARM (via PACE); and through ALP
(via GHOST)

when ALP hits the market officially - one needs to know if the
manner in which palmos applications is written is going to change;
and, if so - how significantly.

there may be a need for:

- Palm OS Garnet Certification
- Palm OS ALP Certification

but, honestly - if you take a look at the number of developers who
are actually certified:

http://www.palmos.com/dev/certification/

its probably around 100 total - not everyone wants their name listed.
most of these developers are also self-made companies :) so, its not
like getting a palmos job requires you to have certification.

it may help some self-made companies as consultants however.
