Yesterday, PPK announced that he and others are busy setting up a Dutch guild of Front-end Developers: http://www.quirksmode.org/blog/archives/2007/07/gilde_van_front.html (only in Dutch for now). The general idea is to professionalize front-end development, emphesize the fact that it is in fact a branche of its own and to set up a certification system by which customers can easily distinguish between modern developers, using web standards, and old skool table hackers.
Interesting. Whenever the subject has arisen before, it's usually been felt that because the pace of change is so rapid in web development, certification is practically useless - you might have qualified for a certificate a year ago, but that's no guarantee that you're still using the most up-to-date techniques. -- Matthew Pennell // m: 07904 432123 // www.thewatchmakerproject.com ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
