  • RE: Is it worth to pursue a C# cert for a SQL Dev focused career path?

    dominic cloud (4/27/2015)

    Also watch out for the sun. You can get sun burn far easier at high altitudes than low. Take sun cream, use it liberally, even if the day is cold.

    Please take a read through Chapter 4: http://www.red-gate.com/community/books/accidental-dba
