Hi Jason, I don't really feel that certification will lead you towards learning( this is my personal feeling) but if you feel it will make you to sit in front of the book and force you to read the certification idea was good. I used to do the same reading books 1/3rd and ending up after that. But I never gave up I did some research what motivates me learning asp.net completely ( you know nobody else will find out that) so I finally ended up reading some online articles and spending the most of the time at library( all people will seriously read obviously you will feel oh God I need to read I need to complete this chapter I need to work on this like that) and what ever you do any work on the web or browse the internet I started thinking what was the code behind this how they built what was the business logic you know like that.
So first think what make you feel comfortable reading and learning asp.net. To learn any new technology you need read a lot and practice a lot. Start from some thing, people are here to guide you but if you say I need to learn, guide be from scratch nobody has time for that and nobody will show interest so *MY ADVICE IS START FROM SOME POINT AND ASK DOUBTS WITH IN A WEEK YOU WILL KNOW WHERE YOU ARE WHAT YOU NEED TO DO TO LEARN ASP.NET TRUST ME. EVEN A BIG BUILDING WILL START FROM A SMALL BRICK. *ALL THE BEST, Sushma On Tue, Feb 24, 2009 at 4:21 PM, JasonL-CD05072004 <[email protected]>wrote: > > Thanks for the advice Sushma! > > I guess my problem is in the learning solo, I really need direction > and specific projects to work towards completing.
