Hi,

Am thinking of trying to get an MCAD in c#. I currently programme in
Delphi 7but have realised that I need to try and learn something more
in demand before I end up in the job market again. I have only really
ever programmed in Delphi before so realise that this will be hard
work but I do pick things up quite quickly so believe I can do it.
Does anyone have any advice/comments? How long would it take someone
to pick up this qualification from scratch. Any views on this would
be much appreciated.

Richie
 
Richie,

It's hard to make some sort of determination like that, because every
person is different. How you will react to the programming model (managed
vs unmanaged, memory management, attributes, etc, etc), the requirements of
the test (how much do you really need to know), are just some of the
variables which make it near impossible to give an accurate estimate based
on.

However, the fact that you do have some sort programming background in a
top-down, OO language helps a good deal, as you won't have to start
completely from scratch.

I would recommend going over the quickstart tutorials for .NET. They
are small examples that you can run, and get a feel of how to perform
certain operations in .NET. From there, you can explore more complex
situations, and begin putting it all together. The link is:

Hope this helps.
