Hi

I have been using C# for a few months after reading a few books and I like
to take my 'knowledge' to a more structured level.

I am thinking about doing microsoft courses CSN2124 and CSN2555.

If you have done these courses, could you please let me know if you found
them useful? These courses are 5 day intensive courses.

Thanks

Doug


Doug, I haven't taken the courses but I would be sceptical about what
you could learn in 5 days. .Net is *big*. I would suggest studying for
a MCTS (Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist) qualification. This
will give you plenty of structure and give you a recognised
qualification at the end.



1) MCTS = Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist
There are 5 exams:
a) Technology Specialist: .NET Framework 2.0 Web Applications
b) Technology Specialist: .NET Framework 2.0 Windows Applications
c) Technology Specialist: .NET Framework 2.0 Distributed
Applications
d) Technology Specialist: SQL Server 2005
e) Technology Specialist: BizTalk Server 2006

For a, for example:
a) Technology Specialist: .NET Framework 2.0 Web Applications
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/mcts/webapps/
You must pass 2 exams (choice of programming language when the test
starts)
Note that Exam 70-536 is common to a-c.
Exam 70-536: TS: Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 - Application
Development Foundation
Exam 70-528: TS: Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 - Web-Based Client
Development


You can look up exam 70-536 on the MS web site, why not download the
syllabus then just work through it in your own time? If you can pass
this you are halfway to getting each of a-c in my list above.
