C++ certifivation
Hello
I will become MCSD.NET in the next few months. My favorite language is C#, but i want to refresh/extend my knowledge of C++(.NET). Is there any certification from MS? Many thanks in advance. Bert Sachs |

Many thanks in advance. > No. No C++ specific certification. The MCAD/MCSD.NET certifications are basically all about .NET and its framework - not any specific language. It stands to reason that all certifications would be in .NET's premier language C# - which then were duplicated for VB.NET to avoid alienating the existing VB user base. MS probably figured that the C++ contingent would simply go the C# route (to learn the framework) and then transition themselves to C++ ..NET. Books which might be helpful: Managed C++ and .NET Development: Visual Studio .NET 2003 Edition by Stephen R.G. Fraser ISBN: 1590590333 http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1590590333 http://www.apress.com/book/bookDisplay.html?bID=95 Programming with Managed Extensions for Microsoft Visual C++ .NET by Richard Grimes ISBN: 0735617821 http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0735617821 http://www.microsoft.com/mspress/books/6191.asp As you are also looking at this as a "refresher" you should be warned that MS has taken in the past its own view of how to use C++ which can diverge from the norms accepted in the remainder of the C++ community. For some more information you may want to poke around Herb Sutter's site: http://www.gotw.ca/gotw/ http://www.gotw.ca/microsoft/ UAError |

Microsoft simply want everyone to use microsoft based technologies (and tools). They can't control the evolution of C++, every time they add their own extensions to it ms get slated, and so on.....
