[TriLUG] Cert Question

[Peter Neilson]

Whatever. I think most certs are worthless, especially if the cert is the  
only indicator of ability. You should seek instead assessment that  
pertains to the work to be done.

For example, make sure you ask any C-programming candidate, "What does  
this code do? How, if at all, would you change it?" Show something like  
this:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
     char  b1[] = "ABCD";
     char  b2[] = "LMNO";
     char  b3[] = "ZYXW";

     puts(b1);
     puts(b2);
     puts(b3);
     putchar('\n');

     puts("Enter some characters:");
     gets(b2);

     putchar('\n');
     puts(b1);
     puts(b2);
     puts(b3);

     return(0);
}
