OpenJS Node.js Services Developer Certified
This week I received my second certificate from the Linux Foundation:
The exam was similar to the JSNAD. There were very strict admission rules. I had to film my room for quite a while and show what was under my desk, mousepad, keyboard, etc.
The required PSI browser wouldn't install on my laptop, so I had to switch to my desktop PC. Luckily, I had recently ordered a new camera, so the start of the exam was quite stressful.
This time, there was a new Linux distribution. I can't say exactly which one. Unfortunately, curly brackets {} didn't work on my keyboard, so I had to copy and paste them.
Another challenge was that the search function on Fastify's docs pages didn't work, and many plugins couldn't be found there. However, since I was allowed to use the plugins for programming, I could read the Readme files in the node_modules.
The exam was fun, and the tasks were fair.
If you're looking for some continuing education and have $600 to spare, you can definitely go for this certification. You’ll learn the basics of service development. However, if you've already been doing this for 1-2 years, you probably won't learn much new.
Do you have any questions or suggestions? Feel free to reach out to me on Twitter or LinkedIn. Thank you so much for reading!
