Having read that, I'm tempted to belive that he was intending to take something else as well as the biscuit.

This ORM link was just pointed out to me: EntityFramework 4.1 RC – Code first; review.

Wondering what you'll think of the "Lack of good identifiers generators" section? Especially the "any DBA will agree" part...

If you can't explain to another person how the code that you're copying from the internet works, then DON'T USE IT on a production system! After all, you will be the one supporting it!

Never stop learning, even if it hurts. Ego bruises are practically mandatory as you learn unless you've never risked enough to make a mistake.

*claps*, very nice. You're taking the low courses first though? I figured you'd go straight after the 450's.

I need to schedule the two BI ones. Perferably before July when the price goes up. Going to write them cold, no studying. Will be fun, as I barely work with SSAS.

There's no pre-reqs to take the exam, however to get the MCITP certification, you need to hold the MCTS certification.

I wrote my 2008 dev exams out of order, ITP first, TS second. When I passed the TS, I was awarded both certs.

I may wait until after the price change for those two. I could try them cold but the mdx, cubes, administration associated with SSAS would get me.

Yeah, I completely misread that for some danged reason. Thank you. I don't understand why it's necessary, the ITP's are supposed to be the TS and then some. Well, whatever, more exams to go test out on and pay someone to let me do it. Meh.

It may well get me too, but I figure if I can ace a Sharepoint exam never having installed the product, I should be able to get through a BI exam wher I have worked on the material covered..

Data mining and KPIs will probably be my downfall.

Thanks for answering that one. This page doesn't explain it as well, but it's there.
