NYCPHP Meetup

[Jon Baer]

While this seems like a pretty cool course:

I don't see it coming to NYC soon which is sad :-(  In recent months 
seems like nothing in the way of PHP certification or MySQL 
certification has been made, or has there?  I have been unemployed for a 
while and going for wireless security certifications to see if that can 
spruce up my resume but Id like to do Linux+ as well but is there 
anything yet for LAMP?  

What is Sair Linux/GNU certifications consist of?  And as an employer is 
it something you would look for?  (For example if someone was certified 
as a PHP+ or MySQL+ or Certified MySQL 4 Professional, etc.)

Any feedback appreciated (before blowing the piggy bank :-)
