Hi All, May be a stupid question. I am basically an Exchange/Windows/Firewall person and have my MCSE W2K, CISSP, SEcurity+, MCNE, etc.. Obviously, I have good experience in the industry. I have done some Basic programming back in the early 90s. Long time. I have always been interested in getting a "Developer" cert...and I am very confident that I an do it. Problem is, I am not sure if I must pursue the MCSD VS6 path or the dot net path. Here's my thinking..."The DOTNET thing is going to be around for a while...I have been "told" that VS 6 is easier. So, I thought if I get an MCSD in VS6 (which expires in 2004 August I think), I should still be fine. I cna then start working (in 2004 April or May) on getting the MCSD DOTNET...THis way, I wont jump into something that is difficult and may put me off and dampen my confidence... What do you folks recommend? Thanks a lot in advance for all your valued comments
