begin MCSD/MCAD
Hi All,
I read alot of posts regarding upgrade to 2005 and so on, but what if someone is starting now? Should I write my 70-315 in the next few weeks (first exam), or obtain the 2005 study material and forget about the old track? I just want the cert to look good on the resume and we are already using 2005 beta framework at my current job. |
RE: begin MCSD/MCAD
If your not planning on getting all the certs in the upcomming 6 months I
would skip the mcad/mcsd. What you should do is to get the http://www.microsoft.com/learning/exams/70-300.asp Analyzing Requirements and Defining Microsoft .NET Solution Architectures That looks good and can be considerd a "warm up".

Re: begin MCSD/MCAD
The exams will not be retired until mid-2007. BTW, why give yourself reason
to play video game because you are waiting for the next exam? If you understand the basic stuff, you should be able to finish MCSD within a year by studying the MS press.

You have a point but there are many other interesting areas that you can aim
at.

Re: begin MCSD/MCAD
Mr Hunter....
Im well aware of it not beeing a developer certification but as a consultant/architect the more versatile you are, the better it is. The easier you can get people to pay for your services and the more you can charge them. Speaking for my self I am currently MCAD, going for a MCSD before new year. Looking to conquer CISSP and some MBS certifications after that.

Re: begin MCSD/MCAD
I am MCAD and the reason I have decided not to go MCSD is becuase I didnt
take a "server" exam as an elective. Naturally the choice would be SQL Server. However with 2.0 SQL and .Net platform itself is more intergrated and it seems to me a waste of learning.

Re: begin MCSD/MCAD
Here is my view.
Kind of depends on how many exams you already have toward MCAD but I have done some reading on 2.0 so here is my view on this subject. If you are not going to be looking for new work before mid 2006 I think it will serve you much better in the long run to study everything you can on 2.0 instead. Its not a radical upgrade but it is pretty massive. Imagine walking into a new possible job knowing that ASP.NET 2.0 automatically renders controls for mobile devices without nearly no code at all. Once I read a chapter on that I could help but think of how many jobs will be lost becuase of that one feature alone. ASP.NET 2.0 has so many new massive features it like they are throwing in the towel on web apps for the more perfered future of desktop apps accessing SOA "Gustavo Ringel" wrote: > Hi I'm planning to finish the exams for MCAD after the second semester next > year...can you explain why do you think is better to skip this? > > Gustavo. > > "Bj?rn Olsson" <BjrnOlsson@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:E5180BBD-4B93-4B77-BCFA-2D1BC400C73B@microsoft.com... > > If your not planning on getting all the certs in the upcomming 6 months I > > would skip the mcad/mcsd. > > > > What you should do is to get the > > http://www.microsoft.com/learning/exams/70-300.asp > > Analyzing Requirements and Defining Microsoft .NET Solution Architectures > > > > That looks good and can be considerd a "warm up". > > > > > > Best regards Bj?rn Olsson > > Head of Technology > > Centre for Business Solutions > > Gothenburg School of Economics and Commercial Law > > University of G?teborg > > Department of Business and Administration > > PO BOX 610 > > SE-405 30 Gothenburg Sweden > > P: +46317732767 > > C: +46708630872 > > F: +46317734754 > > > > > > > > "Joe" wrote: > > > >> Hi All, > >> > >> I read alot of posts regarding upgrade to 2005 and so on, but what if > >> someone is starting now?
