   C++ Test / Certification
  Is there anywhere I could test my C/C++ skills - similar to a certification for Java/C#.net?  I've been learning C++ for a while, and I was wondering if there is anyway I can truely test my skills to give me a good representation of how to rate my c++ skills as beginner/intermediat/skilled programmer?   
  I wonder if you can find some university exams online for C++ programming.  Have you tried taking a look?   ;  I don't know about any certificates, but I would recommend reading 'Effective C++' by Scott Meyers. The C++ FAQ Lite is also a good reference.Personally, I'd say that the projects you have achieved using a certain language say more about your proficiency with that language - and your programming skills in general - than a certificate. Other people may value certificates more, but I've seen quite a difference in skill and experience between equally qualified people.   ;  http://www.odesk.comdoes many certification tests. They don't really mean anything but its like a job exchange site thing. You have to make an account but don't really need to give out any personal info.   ;  you can go to www.brainbench.com..................they offer lots of these tests.
