Re: RPG IV Certification

Don,

Even if it is ONE factor, then it exists. Ergo...

I have seen this in the System i space. I attended 2 1-day classes on a
weekend prior to an IBM conference - these were specifically designed to
prepare me for 2 different certifications. And then, while I was at the
conference, I sat, and passed, the certification. The one I passed was the
one where I had enough experience to add value to the preparation class I
did.

Need glasses?

Trevor,

IFF a person certified or not is only ONE variable in a whole lot that are
used in a hiring decision. Cert alone is not a make or break point. Never
has been. Never will be. And I think that's basically global... Ergo, your
claim is invalid.

As for certification guides, once again, I would refer you to how the
pSeries people have taken this seriousely with not only a series of redbooks
as cert guides(some of which probably need updating) but a whole track at
the pseries tech conferences that was a cert prep track...

EVER seen ANYthing like this in iSeries/AS400/etc space??? NAH.....
