Passed my last test today for my MCSD.Net certification. I’ve been lacking this one test for about a year and half or so. Back when I worked for Avanade we were told we had to get our MCSD.Net certification by a certain date. I quickly went out and hammered out three of the five tests in a month. Then I left Avanade and there wasn’t a push to get my cert at my next company.
