Hooray for School!

Finally got into the 70-300 exam after a week of teaching SQL.  Pretty interesting exam.  The case studies weren't your typical "you are developing an n-tier accounting system..." types stuff.  A little new app development, extending an app, and replacing AS/400.  Three case studies and I was out.  I felt pretty good about most of my answers.  Had one question about ORM that I had to reach into the cellars of my brain from the MSDN video on it.  Overall, I haven't the foggiest of ideas on how to tell someone to prepare for that exam besides "work with a lot of .NET."

If you are curious, XML Web Services never came up beside as an incorrect solution to a question.  Of course, the next person in the test probably had to design an XML Webservice like MapPoint.NET or something :).

Oh well, now onto passing some Admin exams.  I really get a kick out taking these exams.  And with the economy being, well, craptacular, classes get canceled and suddenly I have a week to learn new stuff.  I seems Microsoft recently posted beta materials for learning Windows Server 2003....

Phil Scott MCSD, MCHammer, TitleBitch.  Oh speaking of which, check out the referals from me for this post: http://dotnetweblogs.com/pscott/posts/2894.aspx.  I'm the #1 result for ""i don't got time for pain. the only pain i got time for is the pain i put on fools who don't know what time it is" on google.  Whooo!
