MCAD Certification!!

Adam J Knight

Hi all,

I am looking at doing MCAD certification.

Does any one have any suggested Training Books to use?
Is 2.0 certification available yet?

Any tips in general??
Web links?

Cheers,
Adam

The first .NET 2.0 exam should be out in Feb 06, but the "good stuff"
won't be out for a few months after that (estimated). Here's the link
for that information... http://www.ncycles.com/e_whi_Methodologies.htm

If you are doing the MCAD/Web plan...

The book I used was the Kalani book for 70-315 (search Amazon) and most
people think it's cheating to read braindumps, but you can learn a TON
from those. Not because they are verbatim wording on the tests but
because when you think about the answers you end up finding real world
answers. Great stuff there... that is, if you like "proverbial "
learning. If you like chapters n stuff the Kalani book is definately
great.

Oreilly's Programming ASP.NET was awesome too. They have a second
edition of that now so the original should be almost free on amazon.

As far as the other track... I'm sure the 70-316 Kalani book will rock
too.

For the insanely difficult 70-229 exam just learn
everything...EV ERYTHING...MAST ER IT ALL. There are questions on that
thing that only a PhD could get. You will either walk out of that test
absolutely insulted or feeling like "how in the WORLD did I just pass
that!"

The Kalani book also rocked for the 70-320 exam.

But this was a while back for me...

Haven't you heard?
MCAD certs are already yesterday's news.
..NET 2.0 has a whole new set of certs associated with it.

Here's more info:

C Sharp Certification PLEASE HELP

Hi. I am an amateur C# enthusiast. I currently work as a carpenter and I moonlight on the weekends as a photographer. I'm trying to transition a career change. Is there an exam that leads to certification in C# like there is with Java? How much of the exam will rely on memorization? How much will be from programming skill? How do they measure my programming ability from one exam?

Is there a specific track for C# certification? If so, what sequence of exams would I need to take to become C# certified. I've looked at the MCAD from Microsoft, but was interested in only a C# certification. The company I'm working for is pushing for all employees to get certified in at least one area by year end and I wanted to obtain a C# certification if there is one. Thanks for any information. -D-

I simply want to compliment my existing knowledge, which involves a lot of scripting, with some additional programming knowledge. I'm mostly...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
