Ok, it is probably really simple for intelligent people, but I'm not 
that smart.

i think thats true.  the exam is way too easy i think, and youonly

I'm certified, and many didnt even know there was a certification.

Have you profited in any way from your certification?

Is there anything in the pipeline for Flash 8/9 or will there ever be?

"Flash MX04" certified sounds a bit outdated IMHO,...

Re: [Flashcoders] Madobe certified professional - still recommend?

2006-08-12 Thread Eskil Janson
I passed the test a year ago, at the time when Flash 8 was just 
released, and it seemed strange alreade at that time
to study outdated concepts(primarely related to AS1 ) ... But most of 
the basic stuff is the same for both products.


Most of your clients, or students if you teach Flash, won't be able to 
tell the difference between the versions (MX2004, 8) , but some of them 
will probably be
interested in the fact that you have the highest level of certification 
for the product (Flash) before they consider hiring you.


I think Adobe should get a grip on the certification and training 
situation for Flash. I personally really like AS3 and I can't understand
why Adobe (formerly MM) never have tried to design courses targeted to 
real professionals, including real OOP, since that makes
developing Flash so much easiser, and is what everybody is into. This 
should also be reflected in the courses they provide to prepare

for the exam, and the exam itself.

Hello List,

I´m thinking about becoming a certifed Macromedia(?) Flash MX04 Developer,
but I wonder if this qualification is still of any worth, what do you think?
Have you profited in any way from your certification?

Is there anything in the pipeline for Flash 8/9 or will there ever be?

"Flash MX04" certified sounds a bit outdated IMHO,...

Thanks for any and all thoughts,

André

I´ve got one .but it didn´t provide any special upgrade to me, but it
sounds good when you use it as a reference to someone else, but I have spend
some time explaining that I´m not a designer -)

I was also interesting in hearing some responses to this question, or
even if Adobe/Macromedia certification is useful in general. Anyone?

Thanks,
