CIW

Post by l_jimb_l »

I took the CIW.....
The beauty of people not know much about it is you get some that say things like, "Master Certified Internet Web Designer? That sounds interesting."

I dunno, I picked up some interesting info from it here and there. The tests were really no joke either (well, at the time I guess...)

Lemme know if you want to know anything more about it. You do get a couple nice looking Certificates though. That's good.

Hey, and if any of you are reading this, can someone help me with my php stuff. I ran into a roadblock that I have so far been unable to get around. :x

You know if you have mastered the web and if your worthy of that title. I don't see a point in creating a certif. other than publicity and $$.

another good reason would be to say, no mum, I haven't been wasting my time on the 'net all these years - see, I got a certificate that says I am super-gut ;)

Yes, I think it's a pretty cool title at least. I just hate the job market right now though. I am stuck doing eork for a place as a contractor so I get no benefits at all. That's really a bad thing considering how much me and my friends play football. My knee has been cruched for two weeks..

Some of the simplest questions that they ask are about ports and the like.... What ports are the defaults for ftp, http, telnet and others. Trying to think what some of the others are.....

You need to know some of the different encryption types. Actually, here check this out...

That's a practice for one of the three tests that there are. That one seems a little lame, but it's an idea at least.
