The Central Maryland Association of .NET Professionals Certification Study Group is a special interest group. The group focuses on study for the preperation to take the Microsoft certifications. It is free and open to the public.
The meetings are open to anyone who is interested in becoming certified as well as those who just desire to follow the course materials and learn.
The group chooses a particular exam preperation book(s) to study throughout the group season. Participants are encouraged to choose chapters from the book to present to the group at the meetings.
At the meeting we have general reviews, presentations, and question and answer sessions.
The Certification Study Group has chosen to focus on TWO tracks of learning this season. The tracks are 'WCF - Windows Communcation Foundation' (Listed as Group #1 below) and 'WPF - Windows Presentation Foundation' (Listed as group #2 below). The WCF track meetings are ALWAYS the Second and Fourth Thursday of the month unless noted in the meeting announcement or during holidays. The WPF track meetings are ALWAYS the Second and Fourth Monday of the month unless noted in the meeting announcement or during holidays. The meetings run from 7:00 PM until 9:00 PM. The group meets from fall through early summer and takes a break during the summer months.
The Certification Study Group meeting #1 is held at the Northrop Grumman Gateway Facility in Linthicum and Group #2 is held at the Microsoft Office in Columbia (please review the schedule of meetings to get directions for each one).
