How to become a c# developer

What exams should be taken to become a c# developer?

Okay - I see a lot of partial answers to this question and I have noticed that the official answer has a dead link because the question was asked three (3) years ago.
Normally these threads fade away over time but it's back at the top so I will give the most current answer.
A simple choice is available for those interested in passing a single C# exam to earn a certification title. You can earn the
C# Programming Specialist title by passing the
70-483 exam. All Specialist titles with links to the exams are defined here:
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/specialist-certification.aspx
If you want a bigger developer certification, you must decide which one you want to pursue. You can either go for the older
MCPD certifications or the newer
MCSD certifications.
The older MCPD certifications are based on .NET 4.0 and Visual Studio 2010. These exams are retiring this summer (July 31, 2014). Learn more here:
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/mcpd-certification.aspx
Alternately, you can pursue the newer MCSD certifications that are based on .NET 4.5 and Visual Studio 2012. Learn more here:
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/mcsd-certification.aspx
You can learn about which
exams are retiring and when
exactly they are retiring here:
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/retired-certification-exams.aspx
The older MCPD certification title will not appear retired on your transcript after July, 2014. Instead, it will eventually (years from now) be marked as
Legacy on your certification transcript.
The newer MCSD certification title requires you to recertify every two (2) years. It will initially be marked as
Active on your certification transcript. If you do not recertify after the two (2) year deadline, it will be marked as
Inactive.
Learn more about recertification here:
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/certification-exam-policies.aspx#recertification
As well, there is free developer training at Microsoft Virtual Academy, a free online classroom environment. You can even perform a search on the site to find training for a particular exam, here:
http://www.microsoftvirtualacademy.com
Good luck! 
Best wishes, Davin Mickelson

  • How to become a Java Developer

    I read java ee 6 tutorial and know basics of that. what is another step to become a true developer? i am confused with spring and swing and others.
    I want to can work in enterprise development environment.

    I need to know what i must know to can work as a java developer. i know basic java and object oriented and java ee 6. is it enough? issues like NHibernate, Spring and etc are essential to know?NHibernate is for .NET, you want Hibernate. But Hibernate in itself is an ORM API, of which there are a few. They all come together under the Java Persistence API standard; I would put my efforts there. You should already know about it since it is also part of the Enterprise Edition specifications.
    As an "extra" to the enterprise edition, you have a whole set of web frameworks to choose from. Nobody can tell you which one to choose; Spring and/or Java Serverfaces are good choices however as they are widely used. Generally when you learn one you will know the trick and it is easy to pick up another framework.
    Just remember this; this is not .NET. There is nothing to hold your hand, there is no road map. You are on your own now and you'll need to prove you've got the research skills to get you anywhere in the world of Java development. It will go beyond demanding answers in a forum I'm afraid, it isn't that simple. Explore the market at see what you come up with, then reason for yourself what you should or should not learn.

  • How to become an Apple developer at 16?

    I'm 16 and I would like to develop Apps, but I need to have 18 years old. What can I do? How can I practice and be prepared? I have started reading books about Apps developement. Thank you.

    In theory, your parents can create a new Apple ID, in their name and with their payment information, and you can use it to distribute apps. But if you are just reading about it now, you still have a while to go. There is no point in paying any money yet. You can download Xcode for free and run apps in the simulator.

  • How to become a SUMO developer / contributor / supporter

    Very simply, I'm an EE/CE with TONS of experience in the industry. I would like to determine if you are looking for developers / contributors / supporters.
    How does one do this? Where do I make the request?
    I ask because of the feedback I'm hearing in the industry (major corporations and TONS of users) are considering Chrome or something else (other than IE) because they LOVE what the FF 3.6 look and feel gave them... Simple, complete, and UNIQUE... It wasn't IE or Safari or ANYTHING ELSE by default. If you wanted to add extensions or add-ons to taste, you could, but if you wanted a fast, *SAFE* browser that you could navigate any darn way you wanted, FF was the answer.... NOW, FF4 has changed that perception. Fears of FF5 are growing as well.... FF 4 being at EOL already doesn't bode well. Is FF 5 or 6 going to be more IE or Chrome like -OR--- (the overwhelmingly preferred option is to default to the LONG ESTABLISHED & FAMED FF 3.6 look & feel and *THEN*, if and only if, change it to suit your desires. Our active computer user age group has been extended from 18->50+ and doesn't require a degree in Comp Sci just to use or tailor. I would like to do what I can to help restore that GREAT image while providing all the NEW capabilities we have at our fingertips and WANT to use.

  • How to become ISV

    Hi
    Our company is focused on BW consulting and products; we have developed a small BW utility written in ABAP which is really doing well with our customers. I would like to know how to become an ISV and to get certification from SAP so that we can sell our services to more customers.
    Thanks

    Raj,
    There are basically 5 steps involved, if you want to certify an integration with SAP solutions:
    1. Apply <a href="http://www.sap.com/partners/apply">online</a> --> choose category "interface certification") and provide us some details about your envisioned integration, so the ICC can classify it correctly.
    2. Review our <a href="http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/sdnservices/icc">ICC SDN pages</a> - where you find documentation on many pre-defined integration scenarios (quicklinks on the right). In your case review the documentation on http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn?rid=/webcontent/uuid/1c7da471-0501-0010-bf80-df5a61e5f2fd">abap [original link is broken] [original link is broken] certification
    3. Sign contracts with SAP for certification testing (the ICC will contact you based on your online application)
    4. Work with an ICC consultant to prepare the certification test (one day of integration consulting is included as part of the certification engagement)
    5. One-day integration certification test - often done remotely. With successful testing, your product will be listed in SAP's online Partner Information Center, you will receive a certificate and a logo to market the integration.
    Since you are a consulting company, I would like to point out that your integration has to be a pre-packaged product, that can be implemented at any customer who runs that particular release of the SAP solution you integrate with. It should not be a custom-project.
    Best regards,
    Alexandra

    My suggestion would be to try converting the form to XML using <10gHome>\bin\frmf2xml.bat, and altering this XML to look like R1 XML. Simply changing the Module version might do the trick, but probably not.
    To see the difference between 10gR1 and 10gR2 XML formats, take a reasonably complex R1 form and convert it to XML. Next, upgrade that same form to R2 and convert it to XML. Compare the two XML files.
    Applying the knowledge gained from this comparison, modify the XML from your original R2 form. Try converting back to FMB using <10gHome>\bin\frmxml2f.bat Please share your findings with the forum!
    Hope this helps,
    Eric Adamson
    Lansing, Michigan
    PS: It is assumed that you have access to both 10gR1 and R2 installations!

  • How do you Design and Develop?

    How do you Design and Develop?
    I know this varies based on alot of things such as knowledge, preference, purpose, resources, etc..but I am curious how different (level of expertise) designers actually prefer or implement their websites. I decided to do this post after two different forums discussions regarding 1.Templates and PHP and 2. Backend Development.
    1. How do you generally approach a project?--Wireframe, Freehand (as it comes), PSD template, etc.--Do you have a specific 'methodology' or procedure?
    2. What are 2-3 of your main resources / sites / applications etc that you use (and for what?)
    Specifically: What do you use (and how) to get up a website? (I know again this depends on a variety of things, but in general..) *also if you would like to comment on your expertise or level maybe helpful.
    Do you prefer (Pros/ Cons of:) What advice would you give regarding below?
    Your own HTML/CSS/Script based site that you mostly (if not completley) built. (More control and original, but harder / tedious for beginner)
    HTML Temlplate (tweak the HTML and CSS)--non framework type (Quick and easy, but usually poor quality, outdated?)--but some can servde as good starting point.
    Wordpress (And others like Drupal, Joomla) (Somewhat quick and easy access to tweak a quality WP Theme with ability for alot of features--forms, search, databases, etc (otherwise might have trouble with advanced features w/o good working knowledge og PHP and MYSQL, maybe others?)--but kind of a 'workaround' for real HTML design?
    Frameworks types like Foundation, Bootstrap, Skeleton
    A combination or hybrid of methods? -- or another method I have overlooked?
    Thanks very much for any insight you can offer, hopeully this will lead to a vibrant discussion.-

    The websites I build are 95% PHP/MySQL. They are heavy on business logic. I sometimes work with designers, SEO "experts" and (rarely) other coders. I almost never work on the content of websites. The clients do that themselves through the CMS I build for them.
    I write every line of code myself except for the use of jQuery and a few PHP code classes adapted from others. I can build a complex website in a matter of minutes by reusing the code libraries and patterns I have developed from previous projects.
    I don't use a PHP framework because I have developed my own "pseudo-framework" for the particular kinds of sites I build, but I respect the frameworks that are out there. They can teach you excellent coding habits.
    In starting the design and logic of a site, the most essential question is: What is the website (or website project) supposed to accomplish? My clients tell me what they want to accomplish, but I usually decide how to get there. This holds for both business logic and design, because design also must serve the business objectives.
    My website projects generally take four months to two years to complete. The client usually dedicates one employee to work as a liaison between me and the rest of the company. Because the sites I build are heavy on the business logic, a great deal of time is spent on testing and debugging. I make testing the responsibility of the client so I can't be held liable if, for instance, a terrible accounting mistake is discovered in the code logic.
    I like to use Adobe Illustrator for design development because I became an Adobe Illustrator ACE in 2000; however, I can see that Fireworks is probably the better tool. Photoshop is an important secondary tool.
    For general site management and code writing I use both Dreamweaver and ZEND Studio; however, I use Dreamweaver less and less.
    I now require all my clients to have their websites (and also domain name registrations, since my company is a domain name reseller) hosted on my VPS server. This prevents anyone from stealing code I have worked for years to develop and also establishes a commitment between myself and the client. When you are starting a web development business, you can't demand this kind of commitment from the client. Even a lot of great seasoned developers can't. It depends on your reputation within the specific industry(ies) you service.
