How Does It Feel To Be An Adobe Certified Advanced ColdFusion Developer?

Tags: ColdFusion, Work

Pretty freakin' sweet, I tell you what! I just got certified this morning and passed with a 95%. It was so stressful getting ready, I mean, I haven't taken a test in like 5 years (except for my Personal Training certification and that was a joke). I'll tell you though, the studying really forces you to look at stuff you rarely ever use. I hope to continue to grow as a ColdFusion developer and all that stuff...

But enough of that, what celebration would be complete with out a little celebratory cleavage???

Josh,

To prepare for the exam I read Ben Forta's exam guide and I also got the practice software from CentraSoft [ http://www.centrasoft.com/ ]. I would say BOTH were absolutely essential. Forta's book gives you a great overview of the language with sample questions... but the exam prep software was fantastic. I haven't taken a test in a long time and this really gets you ready for taking the test. If you are going for the certification I would say definitely get BOTH. Neither are much more than like 40 bucks and well worth it.

Thanks for the tips. I'm glad to know I'm on the right track. I'd already purchased Ben Forta's book, and was just about to get the CentraSoft software.

Josh,

Most definately the way to go. It really helps you prepare for the way they ask questions in a way that nothing else in my studying did. It really shows you how *prepared* you have to be and what areas you need to know as well and really highlighting what areas you do not know.

Hi

I was awarded Advanced ColdFusion 8 certification last week. I found the coldfusion documents a great source of information. What I am interested is what will you do with this qualification. In Scotland where I live there is not a lot of coldFusion jobs. Software companies find it hard to recruit and potential candatates find it hard to find jobs.
