Microsoft Certifications via dumps ...

Offlate, 2 out of 10 guys I meet on a day talk about Microsoft Certifications (MCP, MCAD, MCDBA, MCTS etc.,). Though its a good sign, not many have put any real efforts to get certified ... itseems just a overnight study was enough for them!!

Are they too brilliant to grasp the subject overnight? Nope not really. Then? they have used DUMPS to clear the exams :(

Few years back in CNUG (Chennai dotnet User Group) I have answered to a similar topic. Since I couldn't find that thread now I thought of making a blog post on this.

Given a chance will you take up Microsoft certification?

Yes and No!

Yes -- I am interested in getting certified by studying the materials and after working with the software myself for quite sometime.

No -- It's because I don't find any real use of having this certification.

What do you mean by "No real use"?

  • To my knowledge, MS certifications doesn't have much of value within India. Almost everybody knows that there are high possibility that people would have either used "dumps" or other dirty source to clear the exams.
  • Do you know? there are sites which SELLS dumps and on top of it they give money back warranty also :( People are just degrading themself and the value of certification by buying / selling dumps.
  • Just put yourself in the shoes of the hiring officer and think whether you would offer a job to a person because he is MS certified? No body will!! because almost everybody knows about dumps :)
  • There are many people now saying they are certified even without working with that software! Needless to say, they are cheating themself more than the hiring officer. If at all they are given a job I am sure they can't survive too long!
The bottomline is, Certifications are of no value (anywhere in the world) if you cannot apply it.

So do you mean nobody should do MS Certifications at all?

Nope. I didn't say that. I encourage people who are willing to do the certifications after preparing well themself (without dumps :) ). This way irrespective of whether they clear the exam or not, their confidence level would surely go up. That's what is more important than just reading dumps and vomitting the answers :(

More over, I understand service oriented companies do consider certifications. It's really a shame on those companies which encourages their employees to study with the help of dumps and clear the exams overnight :(

Also, I have heard that Certifications are having good value in US or overseas!

Is Microsoft doing anything about this?

I was really wondering why on earth Microsoft is not doing anything about this. But recently I learnt from http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/newgen/faq/ that they are also seriously against dumps :) Find below the Q&A which I extracted from the above link.

Q: What is Microsoft doing about paper MCSEs and the "brain-dump" Web sites?

A: Adding simulation technology will make it more difficult for the so-called brain-dump Web sites to be effective. In addition, Microsoft has a team that works to find the illegal brain-dump Web sites, and then we take appropriate legal actions.

So do you think legal brain bumps can be allowed??? I strongly believe "Microsoft is the one who spread these dumps in the market."

Script table as - ALTER TO is greyed out - SQL SERVER

One of my office colleague recently asked me why we are not able to generate ALTER Table script from SSMS. If we right click on the table and choose "Script Table As"  ALTER To option would be disabled or Greyed out. Is it a bug? No it isn't a bug. ALTER To is there to be used for generating modified script of Stored Procedure, Functions, Views, Triggers etc., and NOT for Tables. For generating ALTER Table script there is an work around. Right click on the table, choose "Modify" and enter into the design mode. Make what ever changes you want to make and WITHOUT saving it right click anywhere on the top half of the window (above Column properties) and choose "Generate Change Script". Please be advised that SQL Server would drop actually create a new table with modifications, move the data from the old table into it and then drop the old table. Sounds simple but assume you have a very large table for which you want to do this! Then it woul...

[Non Tech] Want to know the recipe for Omelette :)

Fed up with Bread - Jam and Curd Rice, today i wanted to eat Omelette. Interesting part is I wanted to cook it myself :) So in the first picture you see all the items which are needed for preparing an Omelette. When I had a closer look at the eggs I see that almost all the eggs are broken. But believe me when I bought it couple of days back it was in perfect condition! I was wondering whether the eggs have become rotten or pretty old to consume! I tried taking an egg and break it but couldn't break it at all :) Since I have kept in the freezer all the eggs have frozen and looked like a iron ball :) After trying for few minutes of trying i removed the shell of the egg and then kept that iron ball :) into a bowl and placed it within Oven. I heated it for 1 minute and checked. It melted only to a limit. So i just set it for another 2 minutes and checked it later. It has melted but the part of the egg white has become a Omelette :( I didn't leave it there. I took the bowl out of ...
