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 Sudar,

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.
All the best 🙂

Hi Sudar,
What can I say? Wow! you are like a walking talking library when it comes to computers, these many certifications!!
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.
Thanks
@Devakishor,
ha ha 🙂
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…
Hello sudar,
I’m a student. I’m planning to take up A certification . Can you please tell which centre to approach & other details? will be greatly obliged if you could help?
Hello Sabarish,
I don’t have much information about A+ certification. I guess uou can contact any NIIT center which is near to your place.
Hope this helps.
Hi All,
Writting certification is waste of time, Learn more think innovative and build challenging applications, you will get enough knowledge.
Hey Sudar
Hii, I am a student and I want to be a MCP . My favourite topics are VB.NET and ASP.NET .. Can u please guide me which exams should i take?
@Sandeep,
Decide whether you want to go with desktop or web application development and then go with that track.
Hi Sudar,
Firstly I am impressed by your blog. Really insoiring one.
I am a software professional in Java .I would like to take up SCJP exam , I am planning to go for SCJP 1.6 ( though 1.7 beta has come).
Could you please advice on this ?
Hi Sudar,
I have completed my BE in 2010. I am having experience in corePHP, Javascript, wordpress, joomla, Drupal, Cakephp, XML. Also integrated some of the API’s like flight ticket booking, Paypal, Authorize.net, CCavenue etc.. I have learned and implemented all these things within last two years.
But most of my friends and relatives were asking me to shift from PHP to some other domains like Java,.NET. I am really in a dilemma stage now.
Please advise me on this. Thanking you in advance.
I don’t think shifting completely from PHP to .NET or Java is going to give you tremendous benefits immediately. I would rather spend that time expanding or mastering PHP and other stuff you already know and would start a pet project in it.
Having said that it is good to learn new technologies, but just completely shifting from one another (just on the advice from someone) is not going to help you.
