The end of what? I teach a certificate program for the university of washington extension program... I'm intensely curious what end is near.

$2500 for a 7 week course??? Can it really be better than just working
through a good book on the subject?

My books:
Ruby in Practice
My free Ruby e-book
My blogs:
Hey Ed,
I don't know about you.
But I know that I'm certifiable. People have been telling me that for years.
And having met Ryan last weekend at RubyConf, I'm reasonably certain
he's certifiable too. <G>

What if the book comes with a Cert in the back, then when you get to the end you're certified.
Actually, the certification should be printable but only if you can solve a programming puzzle from the book. A puzzle that is tied to your name and birth date and requires understanding of topics from each chapter of the book to complete the puzzle and successfully generate your printable certification in PDF all done with Ruby...
There's nothing wrong with certifications, or diplomas or degrees, just as long as they're taken for what each of them are individually in their own setting. Don't knock it until you see the results.
Analogies aside.
Kinda like the Monster[.com] at the End of This Book?
