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.
