Me, Myself and Mayvelous

This is what I mean by I.T being cool yet sux, or exciting yet pain in the god knows where! We cannot survive in I.T profession if we don’t update yourself, ie. like…forever … and ever.
Professional-series certifications (MCITP and MCPD) require an update every three years from the date that you earned the certification, or your certification will lapse.
So like, I recently done 5 exams and become MCPD – Enterprise Application Developer or whatever. I still haven’t receive the certificates yet, must have been lost along with the Cyclone Gene. I entered my home address for mailing; should have use P.O.Box or work address.
Anyhow, according to that certification lifecycle policies, those papers prove their worth for 3years; after that you can throw them away and start pursuing new set of papers. So mine will last till 2011, then what – I don’t know.
PS: The Second Shot offer extended till June 30, 2008 so you might as well take that chance and finish as much as you can.

wow. you’ve done MCPD? great.. I was thinking to upgrade MCSD to MCPD since last year but haven’t studies yet…
Can you share your experience with that exam? What is your reference? Have you tried testking? some of my friends suggested me to give a try testking but I don’t currently have no mood to read anything except siverlight.
Yah I started with MS certifications since 2005 and I got stale with MCP only. Too lazy to continue and the exams are always changing so got tired of it. But this year our company forces us to sit for the exams so I got no choice but to finish the path.
I used some exam stimulation exe that I came across over the net and also used pass4sure files. I couldn’t find any testking but found similar ActualTest only and studied those as well.
Yes, I can see you’re into silverlight currently. I decided to dislike it after I attended a silverlight session at last year TechEd. I just think it’s MS attempt to copy/overthrow Macromedia Flash.
My understanding > Silverlight = Making things move = Flash.
May be I’m absolutely wrong but that’s all I got from the last session I attended.
