Lately I’ve been working on preparing myself to take the Adobe Flex 2 Certification exam. I’ve always thought of myself as a Flash, not Flex developer, so this one was a bit of a challenge for me. For as much as I use it, there’s still a lot of things that I still don’t quite get.

So for the last few weeks leading up to my exam appointment, I’ve been cramming like crazy, and writing a lot of Flex code trying to learn and get as much studying in as I can.

Apparently, it paid off. I didn’t get as high of a score on the test as I had wanted to, but the important thing is that I passed. Plus, I now know a lot more about Flex 2 than I think I had ever initially planned on knowing. Of course, doing this reminded me that I never renewed my Flash MX2004 certifications for Flash 8 or CS3, so I think I’m going start working on those now…

Update: Since I’ve been slacking lately on the blogging, I’ve neglected posting some of the study materials I used to get ready for the exam. I still haven’t done that. But a friend of mine who recently passed the exam just wrote an excellent summary of the stuff he used to prep for the exam, and it’s pretty much the same stuff I used. Rather than duplicate his list, I’ll just send you directly to it.

Congratulations Josh!

Have they updated the Flash certification tests yet? Last I heard they were still “being developed.” But I haven’t checked recently.

I’m with Vivek. Also, how long is the certification process and what does it entail? Taken online I assume?

Congratulations. Like Vivek I am very interested in your learning metarials as well. I just wonder what do you need this certification for as in a couple of month it’s worthless again, isn’t it? How much does it cost to take the test?

Congratulations Josh!

I think what really counts is that you have passed the exam. I’m still learning for the exam and I hope that I will pass it, too. When will you post your material? I’m really interesetd in it. Maybe it will make it easier for me to learn. I’m going crazy…

I haven’t got around to gathering up a list of the materials I used to study, partly because I tend to procrastinate, and also because someone else already has. A co-worker of mine has also passed the test, and has put together a great list of the resources he used to study for the test. I’m just linking people to his list, since it’s pretty much identical to the stuff that I used.
