From today I am officially a certificate MySQL 5 Developer, having passed both of the beta exams. To say I'm please would be an understatement, it feels great. I've not been using MySQL 5 that long, and in fact have only really touched on a couple of the new features (subqueries, a few new functions and one stored routine), but since I use MySQL both professionally (Journeys Travel Insurance, Travel Staff Journeys Insurance, InsureMore Travel Insurance) and at personally (Steven Mapes.com, Transformers @ The Moon, The Visionaries.net, Lucky Draw Transformers, The Transformers.eu: Trans-Europe Express) I have plenty of reasons to dive deeper into its features.
Gaining a MySQL certificate is my second non-Microsoft certification, and take my tally of IT certifications obtained in recent years to a CCNA, MCSE, MCDBA and MySQL 5 Developer. My next certification aim will probably be either some sort of Network Security, Linux / Unix administration or PHP one. I just have to decide.
Eventually you will find lists of recent additions here as well as links to some of my other websites and other things of interest and/or importance
