The first 40 people have just taken the certification test and more are on their way and that's fantastic (see them here on a very beta'ish map). But that have also reminded us that we need to rename the courses/certifications to something else than Level 1 and Level 2.
The thing is that people tend to believe that Level 2 is better than Level 1 (are people playing too much WoW?), but it’s not. It’s two completely different things and that’s why we need your help to think of something better.
Level 1 is about implementing a website. The things you do when you get a design (whether it’s a photoshop file or an html mockup) and make it work in umbraco. Level 1 is about understanding Document Types, Templates, Stylesheets and basic XSLT macros.
Level 2 is about integrating and extending. It’s about understanding the umbraco APIs, Actionhandlers, Xslt Extensions and how .NET User/Custom Controls and umbraco work together.
Per and I have really tried to work out some new titles, but we’re stuck. So hit us with something cool and we’ll give you either a free ticket to CodeGarden or a free certification test. Add your suggestion in the comments.
