Salesforce Certified JavaScript Developer I

PASS. The word you always look for on the confirmation page from Webassessor when you’ve completed an online proctored test for Salesforce. Happily I found the word and can now have another certification under my belt for the Salesforce platform.

I do not write this to brag about the passing the certification but rather to comment on it. The certification is made up of 2 parts. You complete the Lightning Web Components Specialist Super Badge on Trailhead and pass a multiple choice exam on Webassessor. The former part is for me the most interesting and was the most giving. The Super Badge is really nice and while we can always discuss how the challenges are checked I found it really worthwhile and a good experience. The multiple choice test requires you to have a firm grasp of the programming language, how it works and how promises, the task queue etc. actually work.

All in all a good experience that I would recommend.

Happy to see Notes/Domino 8.5 certification path change

As posted by Ed the day before yesterday (Shorter path to Notes/Domino 8.5 certification) the certification path for Notes/Domino 8.5 is being simplified from September 2011. I used to have a somewhat strained perception of certification but after my own Lotus Connections certification I’m a firm believer. Certification makes you take the product seriously but I haven’t always agreed with the required number of tests. This change makes me a happy camper! 🙂

I have also within the last two months seen the level of expertise acquired by co-workers rise as they study for and take the exams. It is not as hard as it might seem.

Come on – what are you waiting for?! Go sign up for certification.
