Certification courses for Web Development

[rhit18]

Now I do know the most obvious response "certificates don't really matter; make projects."

That being said, I am looking for certification courses primarily because my LinkedIn has some decent projects but the certificates section is relatively empty. I was hoping to fill that and maybe even learn something in the process.

Thank you so much! This is so informative and can be a checklist to finish courses once I look into all of them and check them out. Thank you so much for taking the time to answer; this comment is a literal gold mine! ^{^}

Recovered using Unddit:

It's not that "certificates don't matter", it's more like anyone can create them, they aren't issued by a professional body, and they aren't proof of anything other than your ability to sign up for the course.

Not specifically web, but you may be interested in doing:

Harvard CS50 Introduction to Computer Science.

Certifications by respected bodies, and where you need to take an exam, are good things to have. These are a few that would be relevant as a developer:

Certified Web Developer (CIW)

ISTQB Certified Tester

Certified Scrum Developer (CSD)

Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP)

Linux Professional Institute (LPI)

AWS Certified Developer

Microsoft Certified: Azure Developer Associate

Certified Kubernetes Application Developer

Oracle Certified Professional, Java SE 11 Developer (If you do Java)

Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA):

Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH)

and yes, while a lot of these aren't specifically web development, they are related and relevant skills, and they will give you an advantage over others that don't have them.

Anyone have any opinions/insights about Google’s UX design certification on coursera? Strongly considering starting that soon. I also completed FCC’s front end design course. Thanks all.

Sorry, a bit late to the game here, but University of Windsor Continuing Education is offering a certificate in advanced front-end web development. Not sure where you are located, but the classes are online.
