When was it ever valid?

1 solution

Here is what My take is on certification(answer is being reused)

Certifications are good but not the only way to go.

I think getting a certification will in no way prove that you know the technologies and have programming skills. I can give at-least 10 web links that will give you dumps for all kind of certifications and you can pass them in 3 hours.

I think reading books and making a lot of toy applications will be more beneficial for you. do a lot of programming and read good study material. Codeproject is a very good place to learn and share your learning. I think reading relevant topics on codepoject daily will beat any certification any day.

Most employers also don't trust the certifications, they know its all crammed-up-pass thing. After all most interviewers have gone through this phase which you are passing through right now.

So my suggestion is to focus on knowledge rather than certifications. 1 good article on codeproject will beat 4 certifications. but still if you want to go for it then go for it W3C Certifications are valid and recognized too.(but its the knowledge that matters in the end, certifications could generate some interview calls for you though)

Well said, It would help the people who blindly do some certifications.
