Title: Phew!
Post by: Shockwave on August 26, 2011
Just finished 4994A (http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/course.aspx?ID=4994A&locale=en-us) , 2956B (http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/syllabi/2956bfinal.mspx) , 2957B (http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/course.aspx?ID=2957b) ..

That's about all I can take of .Net for now!

Still have to sit a course on WCF and two exams so that I can get this (http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/certification/mcts.aspx)

I'm going to be at home for the next week revising!

Anyone else here taken the Microsoft .Net courses?

I did a WinForms Application Development in C# 2005 a few years back. Can't remember the actual name of the course, but it was something like that.

Have you checked out the TestKings stuff?  It's basically an app that contains a load of the test questions, so pretty good for parrot fashion learning: http://www.testkings.com

Did you pass the exams?

Work training can be tough. I went to learn simple Objective C a while back and found it to be really difficult.

Then there was the time I went for my web coding exams a few years ago - I finished early, got bored and added some JavaScript controlled images to the site which moved in a circle. One of the examiners took me aside after the exam and asked me where I had learned to do that, as it wasn't on the course.

I could do with some current training though, as my knowledge of the latest operating systems and other software is lacking slightly.

I haven't sat the exams yet, I have to sit 70-536 and the WCF exam - I've managed to get a copy of the 70-536 paper, testkings looks perfect I'll definitely check that out!  Thanks :)

Best of luck for the exams! We use TestKings a lot at work, it certainly helps :)
