I want to become a Microsoft Certified Solution Developer.
I've been learning C++ from books for a little while now and I like the OOP style. I would prefer a job programming in C++ but in the UK most city jobs want C# coders for trading platforms.
I hate my job, I hate the people I work with, and I hate the management. Hate is a really strong word but it's true. I hate them all.
I want to get out of this shitty job that i've been in for years now. I'm 25 years old and if I don't make a move now then I feel that i'm gonna be stuck here forever, when ideally i'd like to bomb the place and leave right now.
I enjoy the simple things I have done in C++ and I know I would love a job like this. Even if it has to be in C# and .NET.

I want to enroll on a home learning course to get my accreditation. I have looked at this package here:
http://www.icslearn.co.uk/it-technical-courses/it-certification/mcsd-microsoft-n et-certification/
And it looks pretty good to me. But beofre I take the plunge, can anyone else recomend a better trainer, or perhaps a cheaper one?
Maybe you tried this market yourself and have some words of caution?
Please give your input as I am serious about this and don't want to make a mistake here.

That's why I was going to do the training for it. I have no real previous experiance with C# and was hoping to learn it as part of the training. Is this not wise? What do you recomend?

Sorry Reborn, I had a family emergency so I couldn't reply, but anyway.. MSFT certification is everything really. If you do get certified by MSFT to program in whatever language (be it VB.NET, C#, etcetera) or whatever, you will have a lot of job opportunities at MSFT and other people will want your skills ASAP. I would just highly recommend that you are sure you have a lot of experience (maybe several years?) before you even enter the training. Though, I can't really speak on behalf of the training because I don't know how hard it is, or what they cover. However, just make sure either way that you are a well rounded developer before entering this whole shabang. Desktop applications, networking & communication, databases & data management, GDI & GDI+, smart client development, et cetera. The list goes on, and of course you can't know everything, but its important you know a huge chunk before hand. I wish you the best of luck whatever you decide to do, A+ & MSFT certification is the only thing I have hope for myself.

Are you sure you are not me? I am going through the exact same thing right now. I'm also 25. My boss is about to retire and if I don't get her job I'm going to be stuck doing this shit stain of a job for a very very long time. If I don't get it then it's time for me to move on.
