@dante i refuse to stop arguing until 1) you provide a full retraction 2) Godwin's law is observed. Those are the rules of the internets.

@dante - I disagree (obviously). An ASP.Net Webforms certification may teach you how to write use WebForms but the underlying fundamentals of how a web application works is not taught on the courses I've been on. Learn the fundamentals of software dev not the abstractions they are built on. You'll be a better developer for it.

I've done a few MS certifications courses. 5 day intensive dumps that teach you nothing. Learning by experience/mentorship/reading the books by those authors has stood me in far better stead than any of the ms courses. I've been on.
