It might be a bit off-topic but the certification newsgroup is sort of
spam-ridden. Anyway.. recently I stumbled upon some company named
Koenig in India that offers one-stop bootcamp style certification.
Searching about them left me with mixed ideas if its a good place to
do some training and get certified.
Did anyone ever go there or can poke me to somewhere where I might get
more info about the place?
I have no input in the bootcamp in India. You will have to research them
and see if they work for you. If you go that route and can get a nice
vacation out of the trip, as well, then you got a deal. I am not fond of
certs over pratical experience, however.
If you want to do this because you are also interested in vacationing in
India, knock yourself out. If you are trying to further your career, I
would do some freelance (even if the emphasis is on "free") and get some
experience behind you. You can take that advise however you desire. it
is your career.
In general, there are two types of "boot camps". Some are focused solely
on certing and offer little else. You will end up with an MCSA, or
similar, but will have no real skill to back it up. I personally think
these are worthless. There are also bootcamps that really teach you
..NET, but also focus on how the tests are structured. There is value in
these bootcamps, as you end up with more than just theory and test
passing information.
