W3Schools Certifications?

Hello All
Been a long time since I have posted, but good to be back.
Anyone have W3Schools Certs? What is the general opinion about them? Worth it?
I am trying to find a niche in IT, and I am currently leaning towards Web Development, though I have still yet to take a Cisco cert/course (so network engineer may be in the works too).
Any thoughts would be much appreciated on this!

Do either of you like the Microsoft certs geared towards web dev?

They are in demand as far as the current job market goes. You have to pick your poison for a clean immediate path; Windows with ASP.NET and SQL server or PHP and MySQL with Windows/MAC and maybe Linux/*nix. Where you are in the world will determine your best choice. I suggest checking the ad's to see what has been hot and what is still hot looking for conversions or cross pollination. See where LAMP/WAMP/MAMP is in use in you area versus ASP IIS Siverlight Azure ... As usual there is no end to the Microsoft technologies once you start down that path, all of which end up on the INTERNET somehow. You will probably get drawn into Sharepoint too which is becoming big as several here will tell you.
That is all in addition to the normal cross-platform technologies which probably get explained in your CIW studies. Also you want to give some thought to coding bare naked with something like notepad++ and firebug versus Dreamweaver or MS Visual Studio. VS offers so much in the MS path that it is basically a given if you chose ASP. No matter what you choose your path is not short as certs alone are definitely not enough in the Web world. Normally someone will want to see some of your live work so be prepared to do a few pro bono sites to build a portfolio. I suggest adding learning photoshop into your minor endeavors unless you wish to become strictly a PHP/ASP/SQL back-end person.
HTH. Choose wisely.
W3Fools ? A W3Schools Intervention
Cool link. I've used W3schools as a web design reference for a while, but I am not a professional web developer. Checking out the resources they mentioned, some of them look pretty good.
To the OP, CIW is certainly better recognized (and more in demand) than the w3 certs and would probably be the better option.
I am checking on all the links provided and will start studying for CIW certs.
Any of you guys went through these certs before?
Gonna hit up the CIW Web Foundations Associate cert first, then go from there. After this, may go with the MS certs...but one thing at a time!
