Re: Re: (jeffa) Re: Perl Certifications ??

I would vote for the Perl Foundation. They seem more appropriate. Most of the profits could then be the source of Perl grants. Sounds like a great way of raising money and helping Perl development. Not to mention that having an official certification helps Perl in many other important ways.

People interested in Perl Certification might be interested in spending time on the Perl Certification Wiki.

I'm sure Tim Maher would appreciate more input - especially with misanthropes like myself spreading my certification scepticism all over the place :-)

++ .. But I think PerlMonks is seen be a larger audience and is more influential. :)

Perl certification has been discussed many times on perlmonks. (Perl Certifications ??, Perl Certification, Certification Foo, Perl Certifications and/or Professional Development, Web-based certification services, etc.).

Has anything come of it? No. Probably because we're a general discussion area rather than a specific one (and because most Perl developers seem to dislike the idea :-)

I'd say you're much more likely to get useful progress on a more focussed site myself.
