Help Us Create a New
Technical Certification Program
O'Reilly Media is conducting research
about a technical certification program and we want your opinion. Please
take our 20 question survey to help us understand what you want in a
certification program from O'Reilly--what topics, what motivates you, and
what you'd expect to get out of it. Complete the survey and you'll be
entered in a random drawing for a chance to win $200 of O'Reilly ebooks.
Thank you for your help!

We offer many different topics every week and you can always go back and
watch the previous ones.
Upcoming webcasts include "iPhone
Forensics: Live Recovery of an iPhone 3G[s]" and "Hands-on:
