I've been studying for my 291 for about 6 weeks, trying to grab as much spare time as possible and getting a little burnt out. Feel like I'm getting close to being ready, just need to finish off some RRAS and security bits then it's on to WSUS, but I digress.

A few weeks into studying for the 291, for some reason unknown to me, I started reading my MSPress book for the 293 as a kinda break from study (it felt like something new and alot easier to just read instead of worrying about taking it all in) are so far got about a third of the way through. And recently I also started reading the 294 MSpress book...

My question is whether anyone else does this sort of thing with certificates and studying and whether or not it works for you.

Thanks in advance guys and gals.

 

I do the same - but instead of an IT book, I'm learning about photography with a DSLR - so still learning but isn't based around IT.

 

Excellent, thanks for the replies guys.

Writing a book eh Arroryn? Great stuff! Is it fantasy fiction?

I do wonder the ammount of IT bods that are into science fiction and fantasy as a genre.... I have to admit that before I started my IT studies Id written a science Fantasy book (So far unpublished, but didn't stop me writing half a sequal and planning two more books after ).

 

I'm writing a book (topic and publisher hush-hush for now) and reading "The Case for Democracy" by Natan Sharansky and "The Time Machine" by H.G. Wells. I've been trying to study XML and JavaScript as well but a major XML project at work has been sucking up too much of my time.
