Programmers clearly have a low opinion of what certification is worth, but your employer might want to pay to have you certified so they could pitch their services as having so many ZCE programmers on staff, etc.
Ah well, that's just the way things work in the industry nowadays I'm afraid.
Congratulations on passing the exam and don't take my rant personally

tons of lawyers pass the bar exam, are there better lawyers than others? of course, but passing the bar establishes you have a certain understanding of the law, programming certifications demonstrate you have a certain level of understanding of the language you have a cert in. There will always be people who have a higher level of talent but an exam sets the minimum bar you have to pass.My-Bic - Easiest AJAX/PHP Framework Around

Although this is a very difficult thing to measure something missing for example is handling Hierarchical Data in databases.
