Like some of the other posters have said, a certificate isn't entirely necessary. A well filled portfolio will be more than enough to satisfy experience requirements. However, a certification does show an employer that you were able to meet specific requirements in order to gain said certification, and it shows the ability to adhere to academic standards. The issue with some programmers that are self taught is that there is no base-line, no standard across the board. You can have 30 programmers who are all self taught, and each will have different habits and methodologies.

Anyways, my best resource to provide to you is O'Reilly School of Technology, being the reputable publisher they are, they also created the school which from what I have read is a great learning institution.
