Yes, I did think the boot camp was worth it (and yes, my employer did pay for it). While I was familiar with PHP 4 and Classic ASP prior to attending the camp, I had no experience with object-oriented programming or the .NET Framework. I ended doing the preparatory reading, but the camp was still intense: long days of lectures and labs and then studying all night. But at the end of it, I did pass all of my tests and I did get certified. It ended up being a great way to learn a lot of material in a short amount of time. I wish I could remember the name of the training company, but I don't. It was a third-party, but the trainer and facilities were excellent. Jeffrey BTW, I deleted your phone number per your request.

Was it worth the money (even if your company paid for it :) Also, what was the name of the training company? Was it actually MS or a third-party? Thank you, Jim Weis Hi Jeffrey,
I was wondering what you thought of the boot camp. Was it worth the money (even if your company paid for it :)

Also, what was the name of the training company? Was it actually MS or a third-party?

Thank you,
