Why I like the Lotus Software Certification Program or Change does happen

In my last post blogged about the certifications I recently attained. I was awaiting word on the Domino security Professional Certification.

Well the Lotus Education team reviewed my points and decided that have Lotus domino 8.5 Certification, with the Domino security test DOES meet the requirements for the Domino advanced Security Professional certification.

I have nothing but high praise for both William McCook and Sara Nicklin of The Professional Certification Program from IBM. They listened to my reasoning on this and were more than helpful.

So change does happen.

Finally updated my certification

After letting my Administration certification lapse since R5, I decided to get back in gear.
As well as updating my Application development form R7
I am now officially:
IBM Certified Advanced Application Developer - Lotus Notes and Domino 8.5
IBM Certified Advanced System Administrator - Lotus Notes and Domino 8.5
I also passed the Domino Advanced security Professional for Lotus Domino 8. I am waiting to hear if I get the certification though, due to the pre-requisite of Domino 8 admin not 8.5. We shall see.

No Lotusphere for me this year. I submitted 3 abstracts that did not get accepted. I will be doing something with them here.

Debating on getting more advanced certification with ITIL, not sure yet.

Otherwise I have found some more cool code/ideas to share over the coming months.
I will be updating the Microsoft constants database with Office 2010 constants soon. That is my next focus.

Talk to you soon
