  1. Not yet, just haven't gotten around to it yet

  2. Never really got around to it.  Possibly handy if you do consultancy.

  3. I was going to a while back, because I read you could get the basic certification for free if you had a RAD Studio license, but for some reason it didn't work.

  4. It's shame that certification is valid only for 2 years. I know that Delphi changes rapidly but how much it can change in 2 years? It discourages me.

  5. For me, "no" to both questions.

    I feel that It might give some (marginal) credibility to those seeking a position within a Delphi shop, but when it comes to clients, I've not yet met one that even knows what Delphi is. ;)

  6. Yep, got a developer cert too while it was free.

  7. To be entirely blunt, judging by some of the questions/answers, as well as the quality of EMBT's own code lately, passing the certification may not in itself constitute a strictly positive assessment of skills. It's certainly not black, but there's enough grey to make it not white.

  8. Being a "homegrown" developer and non-native english speaker i never paid much attention to the nomenclature of coding. I'm more of a "compiler-interactor"* and architect (sic). So sitting down and ticking the correct word for something i know pretty well how to do and get to work will not reflect on my abilities as a developer and problem solver. So... no.

  9. Not certified, don't see any real benefit for me.
