Intrested in giving MCSD... but not sure where to start.(Beginneru

Hi All,

I am a beginner in Visual Studio world, have a basic knowledge of Visual
Basic. I am considering learning Visual Basic.net and then give MCSD exam.
Can someone point me to right steps to achieve my goal. Should i just focus
on learning Visual Basic for now and when i am confident with it, proceed
with MCSD preparation?

And any good books for Visual basic.net and MCSD will help.

Thanks!.. for your reply.

 

As a "beginner" with Visual Studio, I would guide you away from the
MCAD/MCSD exams, which focus on VS2003 and .NET Framework v1.1, and guide
you towards the new MCTS/MCPD certifications based on .NET v2.0/v3.5, and
Visual Studio 2008.

There's no point in getting caught up in learning retro-versions of
development IDEs, or deprecated versions of the .NET Framework.

Here's the first place you should start:
