I’m sorry I haven’t posted anything meaningful in a while (like anyone reads this drivel), but my certification goal coupled with the holidays has taken away my research time. The idea is to take the SQL test this Wednesday followed by the Web Forms and WinForms test next week, finishing off the certification (hopefully) with XML Web Services exam the week of the 15^th. If I get overly ambitious, I’ll try to knock out all 3 exams next week. That might be pushing it though. I am, of course, setting these deadlines based on me passing each exam the first time. Maybe I’m being overly optimistic. I just figure that if I can’t pass a test based on a technology that I’ve been working with for the past 3 years there’s something wrong. I’ll just blame it on my inept ability to take tests. I’ve never been a good test taker. I think I read too much into the questions and over analyze the possibilities.

Anyhow, check back the week of the 15^th to see how the certification experiment turned out.
