RE: Should Runtime Revolution have an accreditation course?

2005-01-21 Thread Lynch, Jonathan
Well - the accreditation would serve two purposes

1) excellent line on a resume
2) people seeking to achieve the accreditation would have to learn the
program really well in order to get there. It would encourage them
become knowledgable, and prove that they have done so.

Sounds great!
I actualy thought of that some time ago, too...

But to play the devil's advocate:
Of what worth could such an accreditation be?
I mean to whom might that be of value, except for the own ego, of 
course? ;-)

Sorry, this is really hard to explain in a non-native language...

Don't get me wrong, i like the idea!

man,
just imagine I could make a Brazilian RunRev Trainning empire 
:D I have four copies of Dan Shafer's book in here and contact with 4 
major tech magazines, including main macintosh magazine in Brazil 
(belive it or not, I used to make REALBasic tutorials for them 
after Rev, I asked if I could change the language for something I 
thought better, they said no cause of sponsorship.. I said, okay, find 
another writer. no tutorial was as fun as mine or as good for the 
newbies)

I really wanted to organize something here, almost no one knows RunRev 
here... I thought about opening a stand during this years ExpoSALT 
(alternative computing expo, carries everything from c64, amigas, 
apples no PC/Win32 allowed).

well just thoughts...
andre

Hi Klaus :-)
Hi Jonathan,
Just wondering...
Would it be helpful for RunRev (or someone who works outside of RunRev
but is approved by them) to offer an online Runtime Revolution 
training
course. Those who take the course, and make an A in it, would then be
officially accredited.

I can see benefits and disadvantages for such a thing. What are y'alls
thoughts?
Sounds great!
I actualy thought of that some time ago, too...
But to play the devil's advocate:
Of what worth could such an accreditation be?
I mean to whom might that be of value, except for the own ego, of 
course? ;-)

Sorry, this is really hard to explain in a non-native language...
Don't get me wrong, i like the idea!
to start the discussion:
That will become of (hopefuly great) general value, when Rev itself 
will gain more
attention and accreditation in public and in the developer world!

Which gives room for another big discussion... ;-)
I do my best as an evangelist, but apparently that's not enough :-)

Accreditation is normally based on a test or a series of tests, not on 
any particular class or course.  Various courses and classes are 
typically available as a preparation step, to help someone gain the 
knowledge and/or skills required to pass the test(s).
