| Finally after 13 months of study CIW(developer) I have reached my goal: A total new job in a total new environment.
I have been working for nearly 14 years as engineer at Whirlpool Netherlands and last year quitted this scene to study fulltime and payed it myself. After 11 september my future was bad, all company's were having a job-stop.
I went to lots of doubts and trouble, needing to feed 3 children and working in the evening at a grocery to pay some bills.
Lots of trouble with my ATP resulting in consulting a lawyer, you don't want to know!
Now I'm working as a consultant at KPMG in a Visual Basic environment. I admit; it's not the CIW developer place exactly but I formed a tremendous ground to build on by this study. | |

| Thank you all and as answer to your question BootData;
NO i haven't done much in VB yet but that's no problem.
As you know; A lot of programming principles are the same in languages and I get the opportunity to learn on the job.
(and bought a couple of VB books....)
I'm working with an application that is build with VB but is also running in a webversion so it has a direct connection to the study.
Btw: the CIW developer track includes ASP and that's pretty much VB | |

| It's a good start and an encouragement to all of us here. I knew you would make it, just a matter of time.
BTW, did you do the Perl and Javascript modules? | |

Been very busy lately with work, study (Masters course) and my ongoing certification hobby. Got my MCT and Security Analyst certs lately, but need to sit down for the MCSA.
Not sure whether to do the Web languages module to attain the CIW Web Manager, since I don't see any future with Perl but with PHP.

There are questions still in beta at www.dyne.com/trivia/
