| I just got my MCAD in VB.NET. I am actually a little better at C# than I am at
VB.NET and I'm thinking about taking the same three tests in C#. In your
opinion, would this help me any professionally?
Thanks,
Mike Maddux

Possibly, though only with someone unfamiliar with these particular exams.
For me, if you have passed the VB.Net exams I have no doubt whatsoever that
you could also pass the C# exams, even if you've never even used or read
about it. The exams really test the languages.
I've thought I would do this to avoid having to explain this, but have only
gotten around to doubling up on 306/316 so far. They were essentially
identical. But if you've got a little time and can spare the money, it might
be worthwhile.

| I think it's a waste of time and money.
..NET is not about language, but it's about the framework.
Sadly Microsoft still has separate exams for VB .NET and
C#. Though there are syntactical differences, all the languages
get compiled to MSIL anyway.
People really stop questioning which language is better or worse.
I like both VB .NET and C#.
Anyway, if I was an employer, I would ask, "Why did you waste time
passing exams in both languages?"

You are more knowledgeable about it than many hiring managers. That's a big
reason why we get the certifications in the first place, isn't it? To
provide skill validation to people who wouldn't be able to perform their own
technical evaluation.
