I just thought it would help people with real knowledge to stand out and have a better chance. It's just not fair for people with better understanding of the software(I believe you can get a IIS certification, why not Apache). And it would help the Apache Foundation as well. With the money they get from people taking the exams, they can have way better support as a whole. After all, software programming is not only about working in front of a computer all day anymore.
The real challenge is how the whole process can be administrated. Ah, I don't think it's possible anyways with current open source development structure. But just thought it would be an interesting idea. -Yan -----Original Message----- From: Adam Hardy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2004 1:35 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Apache/Tomcat/Struts Certification Proposal FWIW, I think certification is a waste in terms of the amount of learning that it forces on the developer. Perhaps in many cases it does help the recruiter, but firstly I think that recruiters who need to see certification of something in an IT candidate are not doing their job properly, and secondly I think the whole process is a waste of resources, siphoning off money and time from people who usually have better things to do. So please, no to Apache certifications!
