Arfa, a promising software programmer from Faisalabad, Pakistan, is believed to be the youngest Microsoft Certified Professional in the world. [...] Arfa received the certification when she was still 9, an impressive accomplishment in its own right, according to older programmers who have gone through the process.

Just give her a few more years, and she'll sacrifice her life to allah. What a waste.

Hmmm, certifications aren't that big of a deal. I personally find inolen's accomplishments to be more impressive.

She merelly took a test and got a certification. Inolen began to program as a hobby and got a job in the game industry. His knowledge of programming rivals that of masters students. Trust me, I know.
You tell me which of the two is most impressive.
