I agree with experience and college education is king.
I think a Computer Science degree (or Engineering) will give the proper foundation and then experience really puts a person head and shoulders above the others.
Overall, I think certifications can allow a hiring manager to gauge a candidates capabilities a little bit. It provides a front line screen. Yet, it is still the repsonibility of that manager to hire someone qualified, and good interview questions can reveal a persons capabilities very quickly. Experience ends up being king in my book.

I agree with experience, but not with the college education part. Most college Computer Science degrees teach things that are at the fringe of being out of date.
Do not get me wrong. I am not againist a college degree at all, but it does not add any additional credability to an applicant in my opinion. I know that there are HR people out there that throw my resume out, because I do not not have a degree of any kind. But the years of experience that I have, along with my certifications, more than make up for the lack of a degree.
