I wanna get MCP too. And after reading lots of stuffs from microsoft.com - I had planned for going for MCDST. Cause i think as im using winXp for few years now. I will catch up the subject very well and would be easy/quick for me to understand it also. As im undergraduate at present I don't mind the certification and serious learning also, since i still don't know what path to choose for my future. Im sure once i completed my graduation and with the certifications - jobs will follow and i will be able to find the path.
Regarding books - I have seen the info on these microsoft books. But from where i can get these books. Do i have to buy them online ?
SreeKanth V - I want the certifications, but im serious about all this also. I wanted to do the MCDST 1st, as its sounds/looks easy(though i know its not easy at all) then i want to go for MCSE, as my knowledge for winxp and a lil knowledge for networking will help. Or just go for MCSE directly?
As some of you here said its hard and yes i agreed on that. So won't it be easy if i try MCDST 1st and the MCSE ? So where to go from here ??? Get the books - from where ?
I will be free from 15-20th of August, so that i can dedicate my full time on doing this certifications stuff. So who wants me to bother them about all this ?? phreakOutt ?? or Sreekanth V ?? or __Virus__ ??
Maybe someone can lend me some books + ideas/suggestions on passing these certifications courses
