I agree w3c and these other groups are not going to acheive it on their own
I also think schools are an area that needs a shake up. at my uni they were still teaching inline style sheets and tablular layout in first and second year.... >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 25/01/2007 9:31 am >>> On 25/01/07, Jermayn Parker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > So would making web designers get a "certificate" of some kind fix this > problem?? > > Not if it existed out there all on its own. I think for it to have any real effect, it would have to be backed by some sort of governing body and probably have some sort of legal standing as well. Medical practitioners must be certified and registered, or they can't legally practise medicine (in a lot of countries, anyway). Unless you did something similar for web developers, I really don't see how it would take. The problem isn't just coming up with an exam and a certificate. The problem is you have to have businesses believing that it is a MUCH better idea to hire somebody with that certificate than someone without, even if that someone else is charging half the price. Otherwise, the bottom line will win out every time. That's my take on the matter, anyway.... ~Seona. ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ******************************************************************* ****************************************************************************************************** The above message has been scanned and meets the Insurance Commission of Western Australia's Email security requirements for inbound transmission. ****************************************************************************************************** ******************************************************************************************************************************** The above message has been scanned and meets the Insurance Commission of Western Australia's Email security policy requirements for outbound transmission.
