Each one of the certs I have taken have raised my expertise and awareness level, which at one point I have implemented something into applications such as Windows desktop application, console application, Windows service application, Web service application, WCF service application and ASP.NET UI application. Vertical design and development from the UI to the DAL based on things I learned in doing the cert processes does come into play at each layer in a lot of cases. And those certs do count on the resume, particularly contractor's resume, because they will hire one with experience and certs, expecting they will get the bang for the buck. I only have 3 certs, but the process of studying for the certs is a process that only improves one's overall knowledge, expertise and skill set. Thos MS Press cert books are good reference books. :)

That's 100% incorrect. Certifications do not equate to experience - quite the reverse... -- Mark Rae ASP.NET MVP http://www.markrae.net

Also, contracting firms that have a MS Gold Partnership have consultants working for the frim that have been certified in order for the firm to be granted the Gold partnership. If you think those certs don't count, then you're not correct. They do count. Maybe, you don't think they count, becuase you have not been is a situation where that cert does count.

The language should not matter overall, but it does make more sense to cert in the language you want. -- Peace and Grace, Greg Twitter: @gbworld Blog: http://gregorybeamer.spaces.live.com ************************************************ | Think outside the box! | ************************************************ |
