Does anyone know of a company which is offering or planning to offer PHP
developer certifications? Arguments against certification programs aside[1],
there are a lot of companies which prefer certified developers, even to the
point of assuming a project done in ASP will be better than the same thing done
in PHP simply because the ASP developers are Microsoft certified.
While this seems like an interesting sideline for a company like Zend, I'm also
somewhat curious about whether an "Open Source" test could be developed. It'd
certainly have to be quite different from normal tests and that move away from
easily memorized answers would probably be a very good thing.
[1] We've all heard them before. I'm personally in favor only of certifications
like certain devilishly hard Cisco exams which measure more than
multiple-choice memory.
