What certifications are good to have and worth my time perusing? I am looking to add such things to my resume to make it stand out. I am a software engineer with experience in C#. I am also interested in JavaScript Frameworks and SQL.

PluralSight has come recommendations, but I want to know what YOU think. I am not here to advertise for PluralSight and, besides, I do not agree with what they recommend since I have never heard of some of the technologies that they mention.

Here is my opinion. First and foremost I think should be JavaScript as far as important languages to master. What sort of certifications are there for demonstrating knowledge of JavaScript. My next post I am going to make is going to be asking what JavaScript books or instructional sources would you recommend.

For fun, I have had a look at what Plural Site and Udemy has to offer. I ran a search on Udemy for "Certification" There seems to be a lot of practice certicationi exams for "Scrun Master". I did not konw that was even a thing. Is it?

Speaking of Udemy: maybe I should just take a few corses there and put on my resume that I took the course. I wonder if Udemy offers some sort of verification that one takes a course.




MIT offers a few courses that you can audit for free and or get a certificate for a minimal fee.

Not so sure if they offer any on Java but they offer a few Python courses so you might want to consider that.

If your already proficient in C# its mostly just a matter of syntax to learn a new language anyways.
