| I want to got for MCSD. Which cert is more useful,
MCSD.NET or MCSD, in terms of technology trend? I like
VC++ very much, but MCSD.NET only have C# track. Can
anyone give me some suggestions? I really appreciate to
hear different voices.

| I have heard that Microsoft may be releasing exams covering managed
extensions for C++ in the future, but I would focus on C#. You have to ask
yourself why you want to get certified in the first place. The most common
reason is that people want better employment opportunities. If you want a
career in the business world developing Windows and Web front-ends for
databases and data entry applications, or commercial Web sites, C# and .NET
are the best choice. This is what Microsoft certification covers.
If you want to work as a low-level developer building drivers, operating
systems, embedded systems, games etc., go with unmanaged C++ and
certification won't really mean anything anyway.
Good luck,
Don
MCT, MCSD, etc.

| Thank you for your brilliant points. From my experience,
VC++ does provide me a better understanding of windows
platform, those concepts such as pointers and type define
are valuable. And I can tell VC++ still have a lot of
market share. Can you give me some more detail about
vision of C#? Thank you very much.
