okay cool. This looks interesting. So i can do this directly without doing any prior certification. How much does it cost anyway ?? Do employer pay for certifications and all ..on what circumstances...??

Yeh i know you need to update your self all the time with new technologies and i dont have any problems with that.....

They are not Microsoft certification my friend... Don't forget i have finished Software Engineering. I can get job like that too as i have got 1 yr experience as well...but i want to improve my CV wiv certifications and all...as i know i will not be bothered to do any, once i get into work life... n i don't think its so important to do Masters in computing...but will see later after gaining some more experience..innit.. cheers James

very true..the main reason is to learn .NET and to improve CV..so which would be the best certification for me...

Well i think there is no need for any degree as well as you can always learn by your own but still to make CV looks interesting, i guess its important these days. Plus exams would force to learn it quickly..

Hello Developers.. Just a quick question. I have just completed my Software Engineering course. Now i am planning to carry out certification course before i hunt for any job. As i am particularly interested in working as a .Net developer(web(ASP) + windows(C#) application). But in Uni there were no modules for .NET, and i guess with the knowledge of only C#.Net would not impress any employer. So while searching, i found few certification like MCSD, MCAD, MCPD etc.. Now i am confused which one should i go for and how much does it cost. Is it important to go to any training school to clear the exams or its not that hard and self study is all i need.. Cheers :) James

Hello Pete, I will be really thankful if you will give me some advice on it. Thank You

Thanks a lot to you all for sharing some views. I gained a lot out of this post. I will keep in mind all the suggestions. Thanks again. :)

Hi, 2 months to finish University. Now it's time to start looking for job. Well i have couple of questions for you all. 1.) I am interested in C#(.Net) but as a fact i never had any module of .NET in University. But i do have 1 yr experience in it. But the problem is that when i look for jobs related to .Net, agency people calls me and ask what all .Net technologies i know and this is tough now. Well i know learning ASP or VB won't be that hard but then i have to wait till i finish Uni and prepare myself. So can any one guide me what all .Net technologies are must to learn before i search for related job. And there are significant update in .Net technologies recently but i am still using VS2005, .NET 2. So do i have to update myself before i search and is there a much difference. So please guide me the right path and the list of .NET technologies i should know before looking for job. 2.) I have got 1 yr experience during my internship. Now one important question people ask all the time is what is my salary expectation. Well, to be very honest at the moment i don't have any idea what's the current ongoing rate for a graduate in .NET with 1 yr experience. So i just give vague reply. So what do you think that i should be looking for after i finish Uni in UK(Pounds pls.) ? or what can be the perfect reply...i guess it's not a good idea to say i am easy with it. And please be serious. :) 3.) What is the best way to prepare for the interview. And if i am going for C# job interview.. Can employer ask anything i have done in course like C++, Java etc or only the Object oriented stuff and question will be related to C# mainly...? Looking forward to hearing from you all.. Thank You James :)

I never got a chance to read his question. But i don't like the way you all are making fun of that little champ. You all are senior developers. It's always better to help some one rather than critisising him. One message was enough for him to understand that he posted in a wrong place and no one will answer to it. Remember that day when you were strugling to understand coding and you were looking for some help. Suggestion for the Member 460... So buddy take care from next time and do post at the right place with full detail which should show that you did tried to search for the solution before asking out here. And do not take it too personally what ever the above developers said to you.It seems like they are all here to bully eachother and are always up for it.. God bless them..

Hi I have application in Netbeans. Can i convert that to C# using JLCA or not ? Do i have to convert the application to J# first. And would that be easy task ? And does JLCA does a good job and would i be able to add code in C# to that application after conversion ? Thank You James

Hi I am converting some code from Java to C#. RandomAccessFile class is used in Java application. What would be replacement of this class in C#. Thank You James

lol

Do you remember any name for that ????

lol bt hv to develop software's which is much more pain at times.. :-D

hmmm good point..will take this into consideration. :)

ok gr8 Then i ll get my hands dirty with ASP.Net asap. What about Ajax ? I think that would be next step. First i should get on with ASP. If i implement a site in ASP.Net...can i later include Ajax features to it ?

Well actually he wants help from me and i have never developed any website except one in HTML quite a long time ago. I know C#,C++,Java language but now i want to learn some web development language as well.. so this project will be a good option for me to learn it..It would be easy i guess, but i don't understand which language is best for which type of website. Can i implement any sort of website(normal site without any database) with ASP.Net or only data driven website. I know even HTML can do the job for normal sites but if ASP.Net can be used to develop any sort of website then i would definitely go for that. Thank You James

Hello, One of my friend needs some help in creating a website for teaching sign language(for deaf people). I am more into Software development rather than website. So what do you all suggest, which language would be the best for this option. Website will include video clips and all for teaching sign language. Would ASP.Net gonna be suitable for this or if any other platform then please let me know. Keeping in mind it would be a volunteer work.Any further information related to this would be appreciated. Thank You James

can any wireless network be totally secure..?n WPA could be secure if you give good password but still i guess there gonna be ways to break that in future..So what do you think would any wireless network be secure anytime ? With development of security..there is a development of breaking it. innit ? :)
