I'm an MCP
-
Today I sat for and passed the 070-315 exam, Developing and Implementing Web Applications with Microsoft Visual C# .NET and Microsoft Visual Studio .NET. I'm on my way to become an MCSD, and then sit for the 2005 upgrades and become a MCPD!!!
Congrats. I did the same exam in pretty extreme heat & humidity (no air-con X|) Was tempting to rush it to get the hell out of there!

I don't know about Eric, but I once interviewed a candidate for a position in my company who was MCSD. The candidate could not answer a single technical question. At that time I asked her how she became an MCSD without having a basic knowledge of C++\MFC (this was in 1999). She answered me saying that she got the questions and answers from a web site (I believe it was transcender.com) and memorized them to pass the test. From that point I have low opinion on certifications. I must confess that I also was MS certified (MCP) (not C++ but in VB because I wanted to learn VB that time) but then I never pursued to take two more tests and become MCSD. In fact if I see some candidate as MCSD I always ask him tougher technical questions.

Wow. There is a name for that type of thinking that we don't use in the lounge. :(

Me too. Weird how the brain associates things that way. I guess Tron and WarGames left quite an impression on my fragile little 12-13 year old mind back in the 80's. When I go to Burger King (not very often), I can't find Whopper on the menu, because I'm looking for WOPR. :)

I remember when those first came out. Now, only if I could find my tapes of them :doh:
I'd like to help but I don't feel like Googling it for you.

Your tapes are probably worn out anyway - time to ante up the $6.99 and buy them on DVD. :) Gotta love the classics...

Yeah, War Games I know where that tape is, but Tron is another story. Guess it's time to go DVD on those two :-D
