Hi Dhans,
No I am not planning to write SCWCD. I have shifted my focus towards PHP, Ruby and ASP.NET from Java.
All the best with your exam.

Hello Haridas,
First identify which certification you are planning to take (Widows are Web Programming), then choose the language (VB or C#). Once you have identified it, choose the exams that you want to take and then prepare for them. I recommend Microsoft official training guides.
Then register for the exams in any prometric centers near you like NIIT. Let me know if you need any more information. All the best

Hello Harsh,
Let me know whether you are planning to do certifications in Windows Programming or Web Programming using C# and I can suggest you the exam which you can take.
For preparation, I strongly recommend you to get Microsoft Self-based preparation books. They are the best. Let me know if you need any more information.

Also, I’m undergoing a Java course in NIIT, and I’m planning to appear for SCJP in Feb, 09. Any tips on how to prepare for the same will be appreciated.

Regarding SCJP, there is a book from Sun Microsystems named “Sun Certified Programmer and Developer for Java 2 Study Guide (Exams 310-035 and 310-027)” which will surely help.
Thanks Sudar, will be getting that book to prepare…
