I got a bit tweeked about a sidebar in an article I just read about Certs at http://redmondmag.com/features/article.asp?editorialsID=1782#comment
I suppose for some folks, a cert may just be something to put on their resume... but it can be a whole lot more!
Here's my comment:
"re: Certification: No Magic Bullet - One more thought about the value of a cert. There's a huge spectrum of topics to consider when trying to become a valuable developer. What do you focus on first? Certs can provide a useful syllabus for organizing and directing your self-study as well as a barometer for judging progress. Leverage the 'Skills being measured' section from the Prepation Guide for each MS cert by using it to keep track of the vast amount of vocab, notes, code that you will gather while studying. Properly harvested, these breadcrumbs can then be presented to potential new employers as real and detailed evidence of what you have done and can do."
