Certification in PHP and SEO

Question

Can anyone please guide me which kind of certifications are available for php and seo? I am a php developer as well as a Lecturer. And i want to teach and guide my students. I know symfony and wordpress. But other then this what kind of certification is in demand in current/future market. I am ready to learn new technology even.

Answer 1

No certifications are or should be needed. As for new tech, node.js is very used right now in the market. If you're a javascript developer and want to learn node.js, you will have a very easy time. Note that node.js is commonly used with nosql databases, such as mongodb, couchdb and quite a few more.

If you haven't tried those technologies, it might be a good time to start learning/using/mastering them. Also, I recommend you start using git if you haven't. You can do wonders with git.

If you work as a front-end developer once in a while, I extremely urge you to get right on Grunt.js, since Grunt is extremely useful for a numerous tasks in front end, and it can at some extent, be used for backend, including some php tasks.

NodeJS website: http://nodejs.org/

mongodb website: http://www.mongodb.org/

couchdb website: http://couchdb.apache.org/

git website: http://git-scm.com/

grunt website: http://gruntjs.com/

I think that's enough for you to get busy for a while. Hope it helps.

Answer 2

Personally I don't think any certification is needed, especially in the programming industry (even for lecturesr). It's more important to show that you have been involved with important projects. Working experience with bigger companies or open-source projects will prove your expertise.

With that being said, there is one from W3C: http://www.w3schools.com/cert/cert_php.asp

Another one is mentioned by Zarazthuzatra, ZCE:
