MCSD Exams Completed

I passed the 70-300 and am now a MCSD (Microsoft Certified Solution Developer)! What a long journey which took almost a year. When I first began I had never used C# or the .NET Framework (I was proficient with C++ however). I have also been able to use the .NET Framework on production projects at work which has been great experience gaining knowledge about .NET, SQL Server 2000, IIS, and Windows Server 2003. There are no testing centers in city so I have had to travel to take my tests where I could (from MN to south TX). I actually ended up taking all of the exams at different locations. I am excited to have the preparation behind me and now I am ready to focus on further developing my skills and gaining more experience with the .NET Framework.

I saw this sign taped to the back of a truck's tailgate this weekend:

Parachute For Sale
Used Once
Never Opened
Slight Stain

I will begin blogging more consistently now and also uploading some exciting content to the site in the upcoming weeks!
