The Step By Step books from MS Press are excellent!! I found the courses
were wwaaayyy too expensive, and you only got a "smell" of the topic and
weren't useful at all. The books were the only way to really dive in at high
speed :) (plus, what happens if you forget something? You can't just look up
the instructor and ask him after the class is over... but with a book you
can come back again and again.)
Here's the beginning of the list of books I started with: (look for Visual
Studio 2005 editions though! - All MSPress)
Visual Basic .Net Step By Step (or C# depending on what you want)
Ado .Net Step By Step
XML Step By Step
70-306 training kit - look for training kit for Windows Development for the
new certifications... this is the old exam number - these are great because
they come with 300 free practice questions (so you don't need to buy your
own practice exam - saves $$) and they also have a detailed exam objective
list in the front and where you can find it in the book...
Asp.Net Programming with Visual Basic .Net Step by Step
..Net XML Web Services Step By Step
..... and so on and so on... for more topics, just look up
microsoft.com/mspress... and click the All Books link (or the up & coming
link for some of the new books which haven't come out yet)... and scroll
through them looking for your topic.
BTW, security is going to be a big piece of the new exams (not optional)...
here's the books I found vveeerrryyyy exact and perfectly fitting for the
security portions:
Security for VB .Net
Improving Web Application Security (free online at msdn.com)
Threat Modeling
70-330 - Training Kit.... Implementing Security for applications.... old
exam number
Hope this helps!!! :-)

I'm starting out with the .NET framework 2.0 as a developer, for the most
part developing in C# and ASP.NET, Winforms. I'd like to get some
Microsoft
Certification under my belt while learning .NET and some of the .NET
language
intricasies.
What Certificates should I aim for and what is the best way to get the
training, books, self training, courses?
I have a C++ backgroud but am still an intermediate grade developer. My
first preference would be to identify the courses I need to improve my
productivity in my present workplace and also make my resume more
appealing
for the future.
