merlyn,

Do you have any idea if O'Reilly is interested in starting certifications, not just in Perl. It would seem that they have several things going for them:

  • Access to published experts in various fields (the authors they have worked with)
  • A well known name so that their certifications would mean something
  • Big enough name that people would go, plus in the end it's just more free advertising (and book sales)
    • That might be interesting. You're the closest I know to O'R, you might of heard rumors/mention it to someone.

  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
