Microsoft has done things like this before and I just let it slip on by me.  This time will be different.  While I have been doing web development for many years I never bothered to earn any kind of certification.  This year I am going to make a run at it.  Hopefully I will not be a public failure, but as I take tests and get the results I will post about my experience.

For now I am going to take the certification path one step at a time.  Step one, obtain at least one MTA.  For me this will be the MTA for Web Development Fundamentals.  I am not so arrogant as to assume I know everything, so I am going to make use of the course, Software Development Fundamentals, at Microsoft Virtual Academy.

If you are interested in taking up the challenge as well, head on over, and take up the challenge.
