A large percentage of people on this list got into Ruby before anyone offered certification. Early adopters tend to work for startups and web2.0 companies. They want bleeding edge, not certification.
As Ruby gains more acceptance in the mainstream, there may be more conservative employers (like financial institutions ) who value certification. I know some people list their Microsoft, Oracle, Cisco certification in their email sigfiles. If you want to work with those folks if might be worth hunting them out and asking whether certification helped them. They're probably probably not reading this list though. - Mike On Wed, Sep 9, 2009 at 11:53 AM, Joshua Partogi <joshua.part...@gmail.com>wrote: > Hi ruby experts, > I saw there is a ruby certification ( > http://www.ruby-assn.org/en/certification.htm ) which seems to be fairly > popular in Japan.
