I am now MCTS,MCPD

I cleared my MCPD exam last week. I enjoyed the learning, learned a lot of new things.
the main benefit i got are

Understanding the different new concepts that usually do not come in practice.
but if you know you will like to use it in the regular programming.While reading the MS self paced book i got clear view of

Threading.
Security
Collection
Serialization
Templates
Testing
Asynchronous Programming(Really cool)
Monitoring and deploying apps
Visual studio's different testing capabilities.

now thinking to strong my sql server skill by MCITP
which include two exams 70-331, 70-441,first one is prerequisite for second one.

i just downloaded the books those are very informative.

How to study/Clear/Pass the MCTS MCPD MCITP

I got alot of queries in various mails and comments so i decided to write this article.
To clear the examination you don't have to go to any center. Just purchase microsoft self paced kit for the

various exams(70-528,536,547,548,431,441)as mentioned in my
previous article

Even you can download a pdf from the internet. Try the questions at end of each chapter, also do the

practice question. Cd come in pack if you purchase hard copy there are a lot of examples and practicle

question.

Second Way is read dump but that is not recommended approach , you will learn nothing and that will be

only a tag, that will not work if your are going for interview coz you will be caught easily.

iPhone 3G

Finally on 9-jun-2008, Apple kicks the butts of iphone 2.5G users with the launch of cheaper 3G with Maps and many more features. Apple usually do this as on first 3-4 months after launch it was sold over $500 then dropped the price and 4gb version. With the recent launch of new version it surprise the users and market.
I also felt the heat as only two months ago i spent $430 on device. Its now a like a black box in comparison to the 3g one. Following are the changes.

Price difference:

8GB ---- 16GB
Old $399 ---- $499
3g $199 ---- $299

Features:

Hardware: -- Software

GPS -- Better Email Management
3G -- Contacts Search
Flush Jack(any headphone) -- Email Attachment Support
Battery Life -- Mobile Me(sync features,$99 subscribe)
Multi-color(only 16gb) -- MS exchange sync
Hard Buttons -- Improved Sdk.

Software changes will also be available to the old users free of cost.

Still it lacks:
Bluetooth Transfer
IPod's quality on Speakers phone.
Phone quality (as not mentioned by apple about improvements)
Video Recorder
Audio Recorder
Weight
Camera Quality still same

It also made a threat to the market leaders like black berry and Nokia in enterprise phone market as with $199 we can call it gPhone not Google its Gareeb-Phone (poor people Phone).

Lets wait 10 days and see the reviews.
