The Important Thing is That I Passed
by Josh on Aug.04, 2008, under News, Random
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.
Wow. I now OFFICIALLY know what I’m doing with Flash.

As of today, instead of me just telling people that I know how to do neat stuff with Macromedia Flash, I can have someone else more official tell them that actually I know what I’m doing.
I took the Macromedia Flash MX 2004 Certified Developer Exam today, and passed it. So I’m now a certified Flash developer. I was kinda disappointed by the score I got, which was 85%, (70% is needed to pass). I was hoping to get at least 90%, but I guess that in the end all that matters was that I passed it.
