i just wanted to address this really quickly...
after seeing people claim to be members of the HTML Writer's
Guild, which has no stipulations for membership, and no way to
qualify members and their ability, i've been turned off to certification
for web skills... so much is based on the needs of a client that you
can't do it...
qualifying specific languages, though, technical concepts and the
like, that's easy...
so, yeah, i've looked at their stuff, and it's not bad, but it means
nothing to me as someone who hires... other than self-confidence
and a desire to guage oneself (assuming the candidate didn't BS
it), it's not a factor to me...
if the W3C suddenly were to offer some sort of certification, then i'd
be all for it...
but then, they do that already via HTML validation... and since
every project you do can be different, i don't care if you're certified, i
want to see that your projects are validated, because that
demonstrates that not only do you know the technical crap, but
you can apply it...
so, i guess i'd look for a list of validating sites instead of a
certification... but i'm kind weird like that...
