RE: Allaire Cert Question
I would think there is about as much difference as a doctor who simply passed and one who _aced_ everything. :) The use of a doctor for my example is a bit extreme, but you get my point. hehe -Original Message- From: David E.

How would you know that? Rather than how he tested, wouldn't his patient track record be a more useful indicator of his abilities as a doctor? (You know, no trail of dead patients behind him.) Besides, the Allaire certification test just tests how well you can answer questions about CF. It doesn't test your aptitude for developing CF applications, that's for sure.

Also it's a test of what they want to hear, not real world There are several questions where there are 2 or 3 real answers and they say there's only one... The problem is that it just means you can answer parrot fashion, doesn't mean you can build a whole website for a client and how good it'll be > So, did your doctor ace everything?

RE: Allaire Cert Question
That's basically my point. I don't know if my dentist had a 4.0 gpa or a 3.0. But he has the same certificate as the other guy. -Original Message- From: Dave Watts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 02, 2001 11:37 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Allaire Cert Question > > > Is there a difference (that can be seen by a third party) > > > between an Allaire Certified Developer that passed the > > > test and one that _aced_ the test? > > > > > Not that I have seen. > > I would think there is about as much difference as a > doctor who simply passed and one who _aced_ everything. :) > > The use of a doctor for my example is a bit extreme, but > you get my point. hehe So, did your doctor ace everything?
