Project Euler doesn't do certificates, but if you want to work through some of them I'd be happy to draw something up and send you a PDF ;-)
Seriously -- I've solved about 80 of them, and although they start fairly simple, they are a serious challenge after the first handful. The site doesn't cover all use cases by any stretch, but there's no doubt that it's a serious test. I had to write my own large integer arithmetic routines in LC to solve some that involve 20+ digit numbers. gc On Fri, Aug 9, 2013 at 12:07 PM, John Dixon <[email protected]> wrote: > Will I get a certificate ? > > > From: [email protected] > > Date: Fri, 9 Aug 2013 10:07:28 -0500 > > Subject: Re: Livecode Developer Certifications > > To: [email protected] > > > > If I want to know if someone can code I'd ask them to solve a few > > http://projecteuler.net/ problems. > > > > gc > > > > > > On Fri, Aug 9, 2013 at 7:35 AM, Rick Harrison <[email protected] > >wrote: > > > > > Hi Simon, > > > > > > I found that certifications in general are > > > only a way for computer education companies > > > to make a big buck.
