"[intro_start]After 5+ years of experience in Magento 1 and over 1.5 years of experience in Magento 2, it was Jeroen's time to officially take the Magento 2 Developer exam. However, this proved to be easier said than done. Given that the official exams for Magento 2 have not been around for long, study materials for it are also not abundantly available. Therefore, it comes down to experience.[intro_end]
Experience vs. studying
Jeroen has gained experience over the past years. At Epartment, we are often approached to take on or solve the challenging technical issues of clients or other e-commerce partners. This quickly throws you into the deep end and you learn through trial and error.
As the 3rd in the Netherlands to obtain the M2 Professional Developer Certificate, not bad, right?
""Since the arrival of Magento 2, I have been able to realize some great projects. Think of completely custom designed webshops as well as creating configurators, customized checkouts, and of course the integration on our Conneqt platform. Recently, we also created an official Magento 2 extension for the new AVG / GDPR legislation. This has been tested and approved by developers from the Magento team and is also available for download in the Magento Marketplace."" said Jeroen. ""After these experiences as a developer on the new Magento platform, I felt it was time to seal this with a certificate. I'm happy that last Tuesday I passed my M2 Professional Developer exam successfully. And as the 3rd in the Netherlands, not bad, right?""
Congratulations!
Through this way, we would like to once again sincerely congratulate Jeroen and we are proud of this wonderful result. And how better to celebrate that than with a nice beer 'on-the-side' :-) #cheers #proud"
