Question about MCSD path
|
|
|
| Hi all, first a little background;
I have a degree in Computer Science and have been working as a Microsoft
Developer (ASP, VB, VC++, SQL server and more recently .NET) for the last 5
year.
I am thinking of doing the MCSD and have a few questions
The page about requirements mentions courses
http://www.microsoft.com/traincert/...mentsdotnet.asp
Do I have to attend these courses or can I just purchase the recommended
books and then when I feel I have digested the information sit the exams?
Thanks in advance

You don't have to attend courses or read books, you can take the exams
whenever you think you're ready.

| Hi Mark,
You can take the test without any preparation if you wish (and some do).
If you're paying for the tests out of pocket, I recommend as much
preparation as you can tolerate before testing. I have years of experience
developing and I chose Transcender products to help me prepare. I felt the
tests provided an accurate assessment of my strengths and weaknesses. You
can find out more at http://www.transcender.com.
Good Luck,
Andy Leonard, MCSD
