Certification on the Brain and a Special Certification Offer

Recently we have had a couple of posts dealing with the topic of certification.  Jennifer Waters posted on whether or not certification matters any more, while Graham Jones’s entry dealt with the value of certification.  Looks like the discussion is timely as we are kicking off a promotion to help you.
