    Hi folks,

    looking to add MSCD certified in .net technologies to my CV (resume). Was going Computeach route but £4k is a bit steep. I understand from reading certain threads that you can self-study, but has anyone got any recommendations on which books to buy?

    First, you'll probably want to get the acronym right: MCSD. If you search for MSCD, you won't find many books on the subject! ;)

    We network guys often recommend MS Press and Sybex for Microsoft exams. Not sure how good they are for the programming exams, but you might give them a shot.

    Haven't all the core exams for the MCSD retired?
    Surely people aren't still selling it?

    Pretty sure that MCSD has had it.

    I'll sell mine on Ebay in a few years.
    Must be worth something then...
