I was looking at those pricey w3schools certifications, but everywhere I asked said it was a big waste of money. So I decided to see what alternatives there were and see if there were any certifications that were especially well know that I should take.

What I did find was the Gild website where you can get certifications for free!

The price is right, and if I learn something along the way then I say it’s definitely time well spent.  I am still considering the w3schools certifications, but I’m going to start out with the free ones from Gild and see where that takes me.
