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. -- // Aaron Ardiri -- For information on using the PalmSource Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
