Most Web professionals know about the well established technology certifications like MCAD, MCTS, SCJP, while not knowing that there are a couple of current and important certifications that almost any Web developer can benefit from.

IBM Certified Solution Developer – XML 1.1 and Related Technologies
Having this certification will prove that you have at least a solid foundation of XML and it’s useful components like Schemas, XSLT, DOM2, SAX2, XPath, XQuery, Namespaces and DTDs

IBM Certified Specialist - Software Quality
This certification is great for any programmer, no matter the platform and programming language they use because the exam is mostly concepts, methodologies and their applications during the development, testing and quality assurance phases.

Having any of the above certifications will surely round your knowledge and make your resume more appealing. As of today each of these certifications costs $200 to take and their passing score is reasonable, the XML exam at 61% and the Software Quality exam at 71% with plenty of time to complete.
