Question about Certified Developers

Will “Certified Developers” ultimately work as a service where the creator of a game get’s his or hers game outsourced to another developer by splitting profits based on a percentage or pay by pricing let’s say 800-2500 dollars?

I emailed Corona Labs for details on the certified developer program and I’ve not heard anything back.

*** THIS IS PURE SPECULATION ***

I would assume it’s some kind of program where a game designer/artists/entrepreneur who needs to outsource development can have a pool of certified developers to choose from. Corona Labs would probably have some type of certification process, perhaps a minimum number of apps published, some training/testing program in place, kind of like Novell used to have CNE (Certified Network Engineers), Microsoft has their MSCE program, etc. Once a developer takes their classes/tests they get to use their “Certified” in their title. We would probably have some badge to add to our websites, etc. much like the Ambassador badge on my avatar.

Just be aware that most certification programs means the person has passed a minimum level of testing to show they have the base knowledge. It doesn’t mean that they know more than someone with out the certification, or in the case of developers that they are better programmers than non-certified ones. Experience is still the best indicator of skills.

Originally Certified Developers were simply devs that had showed great skill, contributed huge amounts to the community and/or “excelled in the field of awesomeness”.

Currently we have a small handful of certified developers from back when the idea was conceived, they include Ricardo Rauber (creator of Director), Jonathan Beebe and myself, just to name a few. (I believe there are probably still < 20.)

I *think* the direction this is going is just to establish certain devs who have proven their skills to be well above average; though this is by no means an official answer, it is simply where I think the program is likely to head based on what I know.

Hopefully before long there will be some official info available about this, in the meantime I hope the above is at least mildly informative :wink: [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 30403 reply_id: 121957[/import]
