Google Down - Again!

For the past 1 hour or so, google has been down. And it seems to be a major outage!.

Almost all google services are down including GMail, Google Search, AdSense, AdWords, Google Maps, API’s ….

Lots of discussion going at digital point forums thread : http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=36650

The server encountered a temporary error and could not complete your request.

Please try again in 30 seconds.

MCP bootcamps again

Like I had mentioned earlier, we are supposed to take up the MCAD certification exams. I have already cleared one of the exams (70-305 - Developing and Implementing Web Applications with Microsoft Visual Basic® .NET and Microsoft Visual Studio® .NET), and now its time to take up the next set of exams. So, back to bootcamps again.

Today we stared with the bootcamp for the 70-229 elective exam (Designing and Implementing Databases with Microsoft SQL Server™ 2000 Enterprise Edition ). The boot camp goes for two days.

The next bootcamp is for 70-310 exam (Developing XML Web Services and Server Components with Microsoft Visual Basic .NET and the Microsoft .NET Framework ), and is planned for Monday.

So, 4 days back to back in classrooms. So, in a couple of weeks, I would be MCAD certified.

I am a Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP)

Cleared the first exam of the MCAD certification program.

ie, Exam 70-305 - Developing and Implementing Web Applications with Microsoft Visual Basic® .NET and Microsoft Visual Studio® .NET

Now I am a Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) ! :)

Score : 981 out of 1000. ie, around 98.1% (70% is needed to clear the exam)

The exam was pretty cool. The boot-camps held a couple of days back at our office helped a lot. The dumps available on the net too helped.

2 more to go for MCAD !.

Update : Folks, If you are looking for dumps, I dont have the latest ones. Kindly have a look at braindumps.com

MCAD certification

I might have to soon be a Microsoft Certified Application Developer. (MCAD) . My company is kind of sponsoring this. :). Its a good thing.

To get the MCAD certification, one has to clear 2 core exams, and 1 elective exams. The individual exams make you a MCP - Microsoft Certified Professional.

I would mostly be taking up the following exams :

Core Exams :

  • Exam 70-305 - Developing and Implementing Web Applications with Microsoft Visual Basic® .NET and Microsoft Visual Studio® .NET
  • Exam 70-310 - Developing XML Web Services and Server Components with Microsoft Visual Basic .NET and the Microsoft .NET Framework

Elective :

  • Exam 70-229 - Designing and Implementing Databases with Microsoft SQL Server™ 2000 Enterprise Edition

Yesterday we had a boot-camp for the 70-305 exam at office. And we had mock test took. Kind of ok. Manageable. Most of the participants cleared the mock test at the end of the boot-camp. Next is the real exam.

Wish me luck ;)
