Yes, that's what they're thinking of doing. The challenge was handling the people from the past. If they've not opted in to being contacted (which Adobe does ask), then Adobe is hard-pressed to contact them to ask that permission. This is what they alluded to in the call. And while doing it "for f

Seems to me it should become an "opt-in" to be displayed on the Adobe site - either ask when the test has been beaten - or allow you to "opt-in" at a later date (with your certificate details). Sounds easy to me. -- Peter Tilbrook ColdGen Internet Solutions President, ACT and Region ColdFusion U

I don't know that it will be fruitful to start a discussion of the value of certs. That's been debated many times, and there are as many opinions. :-) But I do want to respond to the comment, "But what would be the point if Adobe wont let anyone verify they're certified". Again, it's not that you

I won't call it best practices, or even current, but I'll point out that (for perhaps other's interest) I did an article in the Aug 2006 CFDJ, "Errors in Your Code: Handling, debugging, and testing for them", which is available online (like all my articles) via links from: http://www.carehart.org

That is very reasonable. Most "inferior" conferences cost $2000 or more for 2 days. WebDU is a bargain really. On 05/01/07, Dale Fraser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi, Just looking at webdu and the pricing struck me as being expensive. $760 for a 2 day conferene? And that's the early

Thanks for taking interest in this Charlie.Frankly, I think the people at Adobe who are looking after certification have dropped the ball.As far as I can tell it's outsourced to someone else, who don't really seem to be up to the task. The certification is devaluing day by day. Privacy?

Folks, I did get info for you, both an explanation and a solution for at least some wanting to verify certs. First, it turns out that the Adobe side of the house had never posted names of folks getting certifications (for security and privacy reasons). As such, perhaps along with the hassles Mi
