Back to school.......again ;-)

Hi there, it's been a while since my last blog, and to be quite honest, I've gotten a bit behind with my studies.

Naturally, there are lots of reasons for this backlog. The most painfull one is work. Work is murder for the moment ;-). Lots of projects to complete, new team members that need mentoring and off cource my first 3 weeks of leave this year that are finally coming up.

In addition, I'll be moving into my appartment in a few weeks. This also generates an additional amount of work, naturally ;-)

Finally, I've met a great girl with whom I'm spending quite a lot of time with. No need to go into details, I think :p

But back to the subject at hand: MCTS certification.

I've started the 2nd part of my cource: the classical Web Applications developer training.
Today's day 1 of 5 of the 1st cource out of 3. Wow, what a sentence, that was ;-).

I normally was enroled for a 5 day course Developing Web Applications with Visual Studio 2005, but the company facilitating the training, Info Support in Mechelen, decided to change it into Developing Web Applications with Visual Studio 2008, for obvious reasons.

This course apparantly is intended for those who never did ASP.NET websites before. Pit of a set back, as I already have some experience with these things.

But nevertheless, it will be a good review and hopefully, I'll get to see some new 3.5 stuff. The teacher is a Martin from the UK, and I'm so enjoying his dry british humour.

Anyways, not much new learned during the first day. The pace off the course is rather slow, hopefully the teacher will pick up the pace a little bit over the next days.

See you soon.
