Thank you for your response. I'm not sure if this is possible because you are currently in a country that we do not yet plan on selling in. However I will go over this with Eric and a couple of others and get back to you soon to let you know.

Hi all,
I've got 8 years experience programming in the games industry, mostly C++, with some C# and a smattering of other languages, and in about a year, I'd like to move on to do some consultancy work (not in the games biz - I'd like to branch out, perhaps into web development/databases).
My question is: I want to buff my skill set and CV before I commit, and I was wondering if anyone had any advice as to which exams (if any) would be best. I'm currently considering an MCSD.
Thanks for your advice in advance

That would help, however there are a new set of certification exams for .NET 2.0 you might want to consider them instead - especially if you are not branching out until next year.

You might want to create some thing to show of your database skills. I'm not sure that 8 years games programming will cut it if you are moving to enterprise database systems. Get hold of SQL Server and use it, and write some articles on it - that will be something to show to potential employers. I remember having a hard time a few years ago becuase I was applying for jobs using SQL Server 2000 and I'd used databases for 7 years prior to that, just not SQL Server. I had to work very hard to prove that I could use SQL Server.

Hi Colin,
Thanks for the good advice! I'll hold off 'till the .NET 2.0 exams come up, and in the mean time, I'll brush off my rusty db skills... (you're right about the games industry not providing much in the way of opportunities to use standard databases).
Thanks again

Hi
Thought this would be the most relevant place to post this, my apologies if not.
I really need a .net programmer to work with me on the final stages of a project. It's going to be approx 2 to 3 weeks of work. Mostly tidying up code, some UI stuff etc... Preferably someone that has shipped at least one .net product and has experience in finishing and 'polishing' products (something that's damn hard on your own).
So here are the REQUIREMENTS (this means if you don't fit the bill don't respond)
- MUST LEGALLY RESIDE IN THE USA (Caps might ensure it's read properly)
- Must speak and read English (or at least somewhat)
- Must be willing to talk on the 'phone regarding the work to be accomplished
- Must have prior .net deployment experience (because I'm too lazy, I mean too busy to read up on it)
- Must understand that accepting payment for some work means responsibility on their part
- Must understand that as a Brit, my sense of humor is f****k up
- Must be willing to telecomute (hehe, like that's a bad thing)
I live in Southern California so priority will be given to anyone responding from that area.
Please, this isn't a bunch of crap I actually NEED someone.

What is the name of the certification exam for MFC?
|
|
|
|
|
There is not...
The closest is the 70-300 which I think is boring and useless but if you want to be MCSD you will have to take it, but my advice is that if you don't have at least an MCAD don't try it...
Greetings

Hi all,
I am writing the 70-305 exam next week. I have been reading through the MS study kits, and also been reading a few msdn articles, or the enterprise library for Visual studio 2003 for the last 4 months. I have been getting steady 86% - 96% success rate with the MeasureUp practice tests. I have to complete atleast one of the MCP exams before end of June, as required by my company.
I have the following questions...
1) Will this be enough to get me through the exam?
2) As 2.0 is out now(I have been working with it already), will it be better to do only the one exam, and then continue with the asp.net 2.0 certification path?
I need some advice.
Thanks

Let me tell, I used MeasureUp for my first certificacion Exam, I can garantee you that it sucks!. You can get a 100% with MeasureUP and get 0 in the exam because the MeasureUp people knows nothing about those exams...
You can go to exam cram, they have a free sample there and I think it is much better than measureup.
Don't worry to much because 70-305 is easy. Actually I would say it is one of the easiest ones if you really study the subjects....
The will ask you a lot related to the web.config, so better learn all the options and configurations, they will do that for every subject..
Also they are going to ask you <%Page blabla options%>...
If you know very well those you have half exam, ADO.NET is the rest you need to know.

Hello everybody, I am about to create a database-oriented program for a Video Club.I have in my disposal MFC, Delphi, VBA and I am going to use MySql for the Database. I need any suggestions about which programm language to use, I know that a program is much easily implemented with Delphi but I am a C++ fun. Is it easy enough for a single person to create a decent program of this kind by using MFC within a period of a few months?Have in mind that I am not a Guru.

I'm a computer graduate currently doing self-study. I aim to involve in programming and software development in Microsoft platform (perhaps mainly in database system).
I'm currently learning SQL Server, VB.Net and will start ASP.Net. I intend to take MCSD.Net exam for SQL Server and VB.Net first. I find studying MCSE Windows exams syllabus could help to improve both my understanding of system and coding...
Is there a need to study MCSE first before taking MCSD? If yes, what's the rationale behind?
Also, Please share your experience ... Thanks buddy...
Regards, Pedestrian

MCSE is the highest level certification from Microsoft, MCSD is not.
Hope that clears it up.

Actually MCSE and MCSD are two totally different lines of certification. One is not "higher" than the other. MCSE is for system engineers, people that want to setup and maintain networks and domains, for people that want to learn about Active Directory. There are many "flavors" of this cert and here is what MS says about it... "Microsoft Certified Systems Engineers (MCSEs) design and implement an infrastructure solution that is based on the Windows operating system and Microsoft Windows Server System software. Specializations include MCSE: Messaging and MCSE: Security."
MCSD is for developers. It is for people that are programming in VB.Net, C#, or Managed C++ (recently added). There have been quite a few developer bases certs to expand on this now too (MCTS, MCAD, MCPD).
There are some certifications like the MCDBA that require database exams and also Windows server exams. Take a look at the offical page if you want to know about what a certain certification is about.
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/certifications.asp[^]
From personal experiences, people that get MCSD can USUALLY do some basic MCSE tasks, and MCSE's can USUALLY do basic programming, but you normally pick one or the other to go into. Not saying that you couldn't do both, but you would not want to be viewed as a paper-MCSE or paper-MCSD.

You probably mean MCAD or MCSD. It wont do you much good swotting VB.Net going into a MCSE (Certified Systems Engineer) exam. MCSE is for Operating systems and stuff.
MCAD is a lower level than MCSD and is aimed at the desktop developer rather than an Enterprise solutions developer. Its up to you if you want to do the MCAD first then do the extra units for MCSD or go for the MCSD qualification. The reality is you will need to do the MCAD units anyway so you can stop there if you want. Best for you to have a look at the offical info on the Microsoft website.
To be honest i dont really think either is worth the bother. Some companies may prefer you to have one as they can get points for the Microsoft Partner Program but its up to you.
