What certified or standardised professional programming courses have you completed? (not school/college/university) How would you rate them in terms of how much their content has helped you to do your job*? I'd be particularly interested to hear about anything security-related. *rather than how much their inclusion on your résumé has helped you get your job :) |

I've been CISSP certified for three years and honestly don't know what I'd do without it. I often see security issues in applications before other developers. For me, security has become a fundamental part of all the phases of application development. It's a "currency" to me now. My confidence in making security decisions is very improved. Five years ago, I was always nervous. It's not an easy cert - you need a sponsor and continuing education credits to stay up-to-date. However, I don't hesitate to say it's absolutely worth it. |

NoneI'd say that's probably one of the best certification I can get. I learn everything by doing. I'll give you a very recent example: if I want to learn how interpreters and compilers work, I don't go to class and waste weeks or months getting lectured. I take one day off and make a simple programming language instead. Now I know the basics, and I'm slowly learning how to compile this language into the CLR. That said, if you're looking for a good CS class, I'd wholeheartedly recomment Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs. If you follow the link you'll find downloadable video lectures from 1986. They're old, but what they teach would change any non-functional programmer's perspective on programming forever. |

I did some of the Microsoft Certification stuff in C# and .Net a few years ago, mostly because it helped get my employer on the Microsoft Partnership programme. In terms of what I learned, there was a lot of information in the course and it was useful to patch up a few holes in my existing knowledge that I had picked up from developing with those tools but probably not worth the cost of the course in it's own right. Reading through some textbooks and doing some independant learning would have been as good for that. The real benefit was certainly in terms of the partnership programme and in terms of later employment. |

RHCT & RHCE I got 100/100 in both RHCT and RHCE exam. I wanted to know about system administration and thought it would be a good course to chose. I'm totally satisfied with that. I've learned many things while preparing for the exam. It's a good course to chose if you want to go in administration field. Course details. |
