Does Python have certificate?
Muddy Coder
I wonder that does Python have certificate? You see, java, .NET, PHP,
and so on, they have certificates for developers to get. Python is
quite popular nowadays, I wonder is there such a thing? If so, I
certainly want to get one. I searched, and

No, there is no certification for Python. Maybe in the future...

I'll hand out the "Johannes Bauer Python Certificate of Total
Awesomeness" for anyone who can write a hello world in python and hands
me $25000 in cash.
This whole "certified foobar programmer" is complete crap IMHO.
The above offer stands nontheless.
Kind regards,
Johannes

If you're done with it I'd additionally suggest the honory title of a
VIPP: Very Important Python Programmer. VIPPs receive a sticker with a
Python logo and are immediately spotted this way by their numerous
fans.

I like the idea, but I would suggest that the award be
limited to the first 100 participants and that the title be:
Very Important Python Early Responder

I'd pay good money for that if the 'I' could be customized to stand
for Ignorant :)

$25,000?! For a certificate? You must be kidding! I can buy a
Doctorate of Divinity (which should get me a jop in an Python shop)
for less than a tenth of that. You really need to turn off your spam
filter for a while to see how low the going price for fake
qualifications are these days. ;)

But that's how employers will know it's real. "But I paid $25k
for this Steve Holden Institute of Technology certification --
I'm legitimately Supremely Certified Regarding Every Worthless
Education Degree. This isn't some cheap internet Certification
of Really Awesome Python skills honorific!"

Come now guys, don't be so harsh.
Certification is really important. Without My Crappy Software Degree
my boss wouldn't have thought I'd be able to surf the internet,
trolling mailing lists to scout for other highly certified programming
whores.
Anyone looking for a job by the way? All you need's good hair and
some fancy paper with your name on it.

apologies, this is way off-topic, but kind-of related. i moved to chile
from the uk about 10 years ago and needed to apply for a visa so that i
could work (found a job doing j2ee). unfortunately they needed evidence
of a professional qualification. now i have no professional qualification
for programming, but do have a phd in astronomy, so i took the graduation
certificate along to the office. my spanish is not that great (and was
worse then), and the person in the office didn't seem to understand much
english, but saw the paper with "doctor of philosophy" printed on it
(which is what phd stands for of course) and decided i was a philosopher.
so i am officially registered as a philosopher. and that apparently means
i can have a programming job...
no, i don't understand either :o)
anyway, enough chat. better get back to philosophizing about some
database queries that don't seem to be using their indices...

And then some people still argue about the reality of
action at a distance.

Get yourself a CS degree. Everything else is just being able to read
documentation.
