1,50,000 Hits

I remember that I’ve started blogging from December 2007 and till today I’m learning how to write a good blog — yeah agree that each and every day I’ve learnt a lot!

One thing which motivates me a most to keep my blog alive and writing tirelessly, Is people’s comments. When I check the comments people says “Oh man you saved my day”, “Thank you”. Frankly speaking it stimulates a lot. It absorbs all my day’s tiredness and inspires me to write one new blog [So, If you like anything -- not only on my blog or virtual world. I am talking about all aspects. Then don't forget to appreciate it!]. Some comments I would like to share with you:

THANK YOU THANK YOU! Days of Tracking down solution NONE WORKED!!! EXCEPT

Thanks a lot it worked for me…

thank you ,it’s helped me alot

wow…life is truely an enjoyable mystery sometimes(with a few bumps/challenges here and there). I got your link from an email one of our developers sent another programmer. I saw what the conversation was about so I followed the link (I also do some programming). After reading a few of your posts and your comments, I was truely impressed with your spirit. Aside from programming, it was nice to stumble upon your site and to walk away with a few tid-bits of inspiration…code, life. In this world today, we all need to remind each other of gratitude, thankfulness, and yes, happiness. Thank you my friend for letting your heart shine.

Milestone : MCPD Exam Cleared

Hi, all my blog readers. first of all Happy New year to you and may this year adds more passion in you towards your profession!

After clearing MCTS – Web before few months. Today, i would like to share one great news with you all. I’ve cleared MCPD – Web (70-547) exam on 28/12/2009 with 975/1000 Marks

Thanks to all who wished me luck and boosted me up on my last achievement!

Journey towards this certification was too good and too challenging too. let me tell you challenging how it was!

Challenge to complete Book : I purchase the hard copy of book on 10/7/09[Price – 640 from Ask InfoTech Vadodara]. Now I’ve aimed to give exam on 26/10/2009. But as usual was heavily loaded with my stuff at office and the book is more theoretical. So, it needs more inputs and concentration compared to Practical stuff. In between i stopped reading then in start of November i come to know about Certification offer from Microsoft[25% Discount]. Which stimulated me bit and moreover I’ve thought to complete the MCPD certification before end of 2009. So, deadline was coming near and near(And as human nature as exam date comes near and near we start reading with full concentration and same hold true for me too!].

Challenge to give exam : You must be thinking how the giving exam could be a challenging task? Yeap, It was because in my city(Vadodara,Gujarat) one prometric is there which was down from last since months due to some technical reasons. So, now I’ve started looking at another options. And finally i found HCL Career Development Center – Ahmadabad and Thanks a lot to Asha ma’m[She manages prometric exams at this center] who helped me a lot during this process over the call only which saved my time. So, i booked my exam with 25% offer (1800 INR).

Challenge to Maintain one Transcript: I already had a MCP ID. But after clearing this exam i come to know that i will get new MCP ID and my MCPD Certificate will be in different Transcript..Hooh!! But finally i managed to get it done by calling at Regional Service Center

Now, finally when i see my certificate and logo. I feel good about fruitful result of completing this many challenges

Again Thanks and Happy Reading!

1000 point crossed on asp.net forums

Howdy all,

I have a great news to share with you all. I have crossed 1000 points on asp.net forums..

New Milestone : MCTS Web(70-528)

Hi there, Whomsoever who keeps visiting my blog regularly i have a great news to share with you all…I have cleared MCTS – WEB 70-528 last week[Monday 22-June-2009] with 965/1000. Certificate is hanged on here:

It has been really a great journey to achieve this. I purchased self placed training kit book while i was @ Baroda then i have been moved to Bangalore for work assignment and there i didn’t got time to clear it as busy schedule . Now i am back to Baroda and i firmly decided to give in June[I decided on 15th June but because of deadline @ work it got delayed on 22nd].

Thanks a lot for all of them who wished me and boosted me up Cheers!

If you are not clear about Microsoft certification and have some FAQ’s that how it will benefited to you and stuff like that then please go and visit :

http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/certification/cert-default.aspx

See this document it covers certification benefits for employee and employer:

See how many peoples are certified. I guess you must like to be counted in them

http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/certification/cert-overview.aspx#tab5

Here is the snap which shows path for MCPD on MS VS 2005 Path :

I would love to see if some one come up with the similar path image for MCPD on Microsoft Visual Studio 2008…Would you like to do it for me? yes you..

So the picture given above might clear your picture regarding certification [I had penned down it on my own so correct me if i missed something]

So choose any certification exam[I suggest to start you can start with 70-536 – I call it “Entrance exam” as it opens so many doors if you give just one exam – And it is valid/required for MS VS 2008 exam also purchase a book for the same/download the PDF from Web and start reading it..

Read the book twice and register your self at your nearest prometric center to give an exam..

Basic exam rules:

Total Questions : 45

Total time : 150 Minutes

Minimum Passing Score : 700

What Certificate i get if i give any exam? What does it stands for?

MCP = Microsoft Certified Professional

MCTS = Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist

MCPD = Microsoft Certified Professional Developer

MCP = 70-536/Any first exam you give

MCTS = 70-536 + 70-526/70-528/70-529

MCPD = MCTS + 70-548/70-547/70-549

Certification I hold currently

 

If you have any query please feel free to post me comment here. I would be happy to reply them.

Happy Programming!
