Ddeere2 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I was thinking about getting a certification for Microsoft Visual Basic. Is this a good idea, or i should i go for some other kind of certification. I'm already being taught at school to take the certification test for Microsoft Office 2003. Also, how about C# certification? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blizz Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Umm. I don't know about any certs there. But try to get VB, C#, C and C++ ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lopti Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 If the VB cert. is free (as in your employer or someone is paying etc.) then sure, it's another thing to put on the curriculum vitae. But certs. in other languages will go a lot further for gaining employment/promotion. But keep in mind certs. only go so far, having a diverse body of projects and experience will help you more in the long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoyBoy Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 If you are going to make games, or any type of application, you cant really go wrong with C++. In my opinion, that is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ddeere2 Posted August 24, 2006 Author Share Posted August 24, 2006 Ok, thanks all. I'll try and get some experience and a cert. in Visual Basic, hopefully my school will pay for it. and a little off topic, is A+ a good language to learn, and, please don't flame, is there a cert. for it? It will help my major more than likely, the languages i mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jool Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Even though certain people on the intarwebs like to say how horrible and worthless VB is it is still widely used outside in the real world. It might not get you geek cred but it might let you make some money instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certifications are good, but without a degree like a BS in CS as foundation they won't take you anywhere... so focus more on a general degree and look the certif. for later....
