  • Simulation questions in 70-431

    Earlier this year I was one of four people who wrote a bunch of simulation questions for 70-431 . Today I heard from someone who has sat the exam with that content in it.

  • How they know you know

    There have been many times over the years when someone has asked me to assess someone's skills.

  • For Sale - Certifications!

    In the past, there's been a lot wrong with the IT Certification process. I'm sure just about everyone knows some ______ that can't do anything but is really great at dropping buzzwords and creating really complex sounding explanations for everything. Certification will never be perfect -...
