Each tried only once! First sight, first blood, first pass! Yay :slight_smile:

Those are the names of a few tests we have to pass in order to get developer certificates from MicroSoft. Passing five tests is a pre-requisite for getting the first out of five stars one can have.

Here’s the catch: a dozen supernerds have been chosen by the college where I study as special students. We started having classes even before the admission exam (failing = loss of the term, but we got the best scores, mine being the highest), and we get some good scholarships, but in exchange we must r0roxx everyone and everything in competitions for the sake of the college’s name.

So, after the 6th hour of class, coordinator comes to us and tells us that we must get into Imagine Cup 2005. The only big detail is that you need a three-star certificate from MS to take part in it. He said we have 15 days to get the third star. I’m just worried because MSDN only updates certificates status every 15 days or so and that’s about my deadline…

Good luck Ren! May you rise as the greatest of Satan’s minions.

SE, I’m only LOL’ing at that because the classes I took for these tests were (I’m not kidding) MS doctrination.

BMO: Wish you good luck. You’ll see that the first one is not hard.

Now that MS has indoctrinated you, can you tell us why any rational business would want to use these “technologies”?

You see, this is one of the most important milestones ever. I am studying ASP .NET. .NET is a technology that makes machines talk to each other. An application developed in .NET can work in a PC, in a Palm, in a cell phone etc. Previous technologies worked only in one kind of platform.

Plus, programs are written in VS Basic and C#. I have my doubts about Basic, but C# is the BEST thing ever out there.

Well, let me know when you come up with the first Navi. :stuck_out_tongue:
