Certification?
Hello,
Now that flex is under Apache (but not AIR), wanted to know how would flex
certification work now.
Flex 3 and 4 certifications are still there:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/flex_certification.html
Will certifications still be handled by Adobe? If not, how is it going to
be from now on?
Cheers!
Deepak

Hi,
Being active on the mailing list, submitting and fixing bug and becoming an Apache Flex committer because of that could be considered a certification of sorts and probably far more valuable to potential employer than a paper certification.
Thanks,
Justin

I don't like so much certification models, as I find them just a way to get
money from people pockets. However I think there is some kind of movement
still to be done to get back where FLEX is supposed to be... Enterprise
size developments.
So, if not developer certifications, maybe a quality assurance
certification model could be a way to return to the good path... Could it
be?

No idea. It doesn't look like Apache projects typically do this sort of
thing, so it would be up to the commercial entity that decides to do it
(who will hopefully listen to folks in the community who want it. File an
issue in JIRA so others can vote on it so we can track the communities
needs.

Okay. So will it just be Apache Flex certification or will it be Apache
Flex with AIR?

Good question. Maybe Michelle Yaiser has some insight into this.
I expect that at some point, Adobe will either not handle certifications,
or Apache Flex (especially FlexJS) will be different enough to warrant
separate certification, which Adobe will probably not manage.
In a quick tour of the internet, there are Apache projects where
commercial companies have set up training and certification. Maybe as
Apache Flex evolves we'll find some company that wants to handle this sort
of thing.
