Exam 70-315

I passed exam 70-315 today with a score of 874. I only started studying for this one a week ago, so I was pleased to pass. I read Essential ASP.NET by Fritz Onion, and the MSDN. Darren pointed me to this list of resources. Bring on 70-316! 

Essential ASP.NET is a good book. I wouldn’t put it quite in the class of a couple of other titles by fellow developmentor authors (Essential .NET, Essential XML QuickReference are two of my favourite books at the moment) but maybe I just need to re-read it to appreciate it. It is certainly concise and well written. It also focuses on the fundamentals, rather than how to use particular tools etc.

I’ve got 3 weeks holdiay coming up, and then back to writing more code generators. I’m working on a templating code generator (ala Gen, CodeSmith) which I will put up on GotDotNet when the syntax hilighting is working.

Hi Peter. Yeah, I was a little surprised by the presence of a score. Not only that, but I got a detailed breakdown of my score in each category. I noticed on your blog you are studying for the exams. Good luck.

Joseph,

I am curious as to why you would choose to build a code generator similar to CodeSmith. Is there anything that I could do to make CodeSmith your code generation tool of choice. Is CodeSmith missing something that you would like to see in a code generation tool? Any feedback or suggestions would be appreciated. You would be suprised at how many user requests make it into CodeSmith.

Thanks,
Eric J. Smith

How many questions do they give it to you? How many percent do you have to make to pass the exam. How long does it take? Please let me know.
Congratulation!
