I would rather focus on courses if you want to learn something new. To this day I haven't come across a job posting where a specific certification is a requirement to apply. (I've seen far more requiring a Master's degree).
If you want to advance your career in a more academic way, I would suggest to get a degree in CS, specially if you don't have one.

These topics will never be covered by just developing web apps.
