MCSD

[wute5]

I am a Software Engineer with two years experience. I am attending night school in pursuit of my graduate degree in Software Engineering and was contemplating studying for the MCSD. Would I benefit in the job market with the MCSD or is this a big waste of time? Also, if anyone is a MCSD, I would really like your book recommendation.

There are some big heavy Microsoft Press books that are recommended for each modules. Some of them do exactly what it says on the cover, it prepares you for the exam but nothing more and can be thrown in the bin once you have passed the exam. For example "Building Web Applications with ASP.NET and C#" is one of them. The series XYZ Step by Step (like ASP.NET Step by Step) gives you more for your money and at least you have a good reference book that can be useful even after the exam. Chris
