Microsoft Certified Application Developer, that is. In addition to my normal school, I am also taking some computer courses. My main focus is the .NET Framework, which I’m not even going to give a brief description of right now, but just know that it’s really cool for a programmer, and that its end product is software-consumer satisfaction.
When I am all done I will be an MCSD, Microsoft Certified Solution Developer. I am planning on taking five courses (if I finish all of those in my 12 month time limit, I will take some more): SQL Server, VB.net, XML and Web Services, ASP.net, and Architecture. I am finished with the first three (upon completion of the third is when I got my MCAD certification), and just started ASP.net about a week ago.
With what I know so far I’m pretty sure I can get a decent job somewhere (and I’ll be looking in the next month or so), and when I’m entirely done, I think I’ll be able to make some sweet do-ray-me. Of course I need experience too, but that’s what the first job is for.
