That's funny, if I do end up taking a boot camp for my certification, I will
remember this conversation.

Just to let you know, I am a Software Developer with a Masters in Computer
Engg and couple years of work experience. But I have been out of the industry
for three years and thus have to find a way to get into the industry.
Everybody needs a proof that I can do my job and without a recent work
experience, a certification would be my best bet.

The reason that I am still wanting to take up a Boot Camp with my IT
background is the time and resources.

How else do you think I could get certified other than reading books on my
own?

Thanks for the advice.

I have interacted with a number of people who achieved their certifications
(especially the MCSE's) through boot camps. My impression of boot camps, and
the resulting value of the certifications has not been a positive one.

Other Guy: "I got my MCSE last year by attending this boot camp."

Me: "Great. Can you bring this new machine up to date with patches, join it
to the AD, create a new AD account for the guy we just hired, set him up
with admin rights on his local box, and get him setup in Exchange as well?"

Other Guy: "Whoa. That may take a few days."

Me: "Nevermind. I'll do it."

I *swear* I've had this EXACT conversation on more than one occasion.

(For those not paying attentation, this should take about 15 minutes. Tops!)

Chris,

I am planing to go in for a Boot Camp and am trying to find more about the
credibility of CED Solutions who offer Boot Camps. I was wondering if you
had
a
more information regarding the same?

Thanks.

Are you sure you are an MCSD? If you are, why do you ask such a stupid
question like this when you should the one giving out answers to such
questions. How did you become an MCSD? Wih your level, you need to
know
what's up.

Wake up!
