Beginner to Certified - The Path of a Magento Developer
In this session, Mark Shust will cover some of the frequently asked questions surrounding Magento certification, the all-important exam and some of the most common errors and traps that some developers find themselves in during the process.

If you are thinking about or are in the process of getting certified then this is most definitely for you. You also may find this useful if you know someone else who is considering certification or if you have developers who are already certified then this may help you understand more about the process they went through.
