WOW!

Ok, so the World Organization of Webmasters may not be a "Wow" statement, it's still an attention getter. As a student, it only costs $29 to join, and it is a great resource for those who want to share information with other web developers as well as those who are aspiring web developers. On October 24 – 27, 2010 there will be an event called Adobe Max 2010. This event sounds awesome for anyone who wants to become any sort of developer. I would definitely go to something like this. If you’re a member of WOW you’ll even receive a $400 discount off of admission. That in itself makes membership worth the cost!
Three ways WOW can help in the career of a web developer:
1. Provide the necessary certifications to give developers the extra edge needed in the marketplace.
2. Provide courses for the continuing education of web developers so that they keep up to date with an ever-changing web-world.
3. Provide advice for those who may be stuck on a project and help people better understand their own profession.
Overall, this is a very useful organization that really helps people get to where they want to be as a web developer.
