Scrum Developer Certification is Now Real

Just over a week ago, I got the following email from Chet Hendrickson:

Hello ADS Course Participants,

The mechanism for applying for the Scrum Alliance Scrum
Developer Certification is now available. The Agile Developer
Skills course you took with us satisfies the Basic Developer Skills
portion of the certification requirement. If you also hold a
Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) certification you may now apply for the
CSD.

The application can be found at:
http://www.scrumalliance.org/resources/1809

So whatever your view about the value of certification, it's happening. As for me, I'm not a CSM, so I won't be applying for a CSD any time soon.
