Microsoft MCAD for .NET

[jfrost10]

Hey guys, just a heads up that Microsoft will soon be releasing a new certification specifically for .NET developers. For those of us in the web-application realm, the exams required revolve around either asp.net using vb.net or c#, an exam on creating xml web services, and one elective. Also, all the exams count towards the MCSD certification. Here's the link if you want more info

I will take the C# test ones once that they are out offically in May/June(and the XML test will be out in August). Then the .net MCSD tests will be out Jan 03-- you have both the C# or VB.net web development and application development and then the XML web services with C# and VB.net with the new Arch. Solutions test for the .net platform

Hey guys....1st time in Tek-Tips - been on training course today and guy told me about it, and interested in joining the discussion.

I was made redundant from IT training company last month, and this has given some time off in British summer to study - agreed with previous work that they pay for a Wave Boot Camp MCAD, which I'm gonna start very soon.

I am looking to join a group for discussion taking the exam too - be good for all. My background is 10years general IT support, 4 being professional web developer - HTML, server Admin, design, marketing. Am fast approaching the more involved (& challenging) programming side of things!

Wanna start chatting?
cheers.

Welcome to the forum Dazza. I'm prepping right now to take my first exam for SQL Server (70-229 I believe), and get that one elective exam out of the way. Gonna tackle the .net ones in the next few months (MS released a great book/training program for it, so thats gonna be my next purchase I think).

When do you start your boot camp?
