Becoming a “Google Qualified JavaScript Maps Developer”
3-4 months ago I applied for the “Google Qualified JavaScript Maps Developer” program and then joined the military. But a month ago, I got a message from Google to get qualified 🙂 The program is working on Moodle and there are 4 parts to get points. The details are as follows : http://code.google.com/intl/tr-TR/qualify/faq.html
There are also other fields at “Qualified Developer Program” such as Geo 3D or KML. The main idea of the program is to show your developer skills but not in ordinary way. Other programs usually need to take an exam and pass it, but Google follow a different way to qualify. You get points from “Application Development” (1000 pt), “Community Participation” (1000 pt), “References” (1000 pt) and “Qualification Exam” (2000 pt). As it is seen, there are 5000 points and you must get 3000 points at least to get qualified. So that, if you are an active developer you can get qualified without taking the exam.
Anyway, last week I took the exam, get my missing points and get qualified as a “JS Maps API Developer” 🙂 You can see all the qualified developers at http://code.google.com/intl/tr-TR/qualify/directory.html By the way, I’m the first “Google Qualified Javascript Maps Developer” in Turkey 😀 and hope to see other Turks as a Maps Developer.
