  23. Hi Neha, First, I appreciate this blog and the YouTube videos regarding SEO. The presentation is very well done and better than anything I've seen from IBM. Second, I would like to study for the WCS Developer certification. If the study material is still available, could you email that to me also? Thank you very much. Greg Dulski
