I.R. Certified
I finally got it, my first Microsoft certification. Yesterday I went to Bucharest, Romania to take the 70-536 Microsoft .NET Framework – Application Development Foundation exam.
It was an interesting experience because of the train which was 30 late. Got to Bucharest later than expected and I had to (almost) run to the exam center - got there 1-2 minutes before the exam start.
The exam itself was a little different than what I was expecting (from the practice tests). I had 40 questions instead on 45 (why?) and there were a lot of .NET globalization questions. I would rate it as medium to hard but the time was more than enough and I was able to recheck my questions 3 times and still got out of the room with 50 minutes before deadline.
After the exam I took a walk through Bucharest and took some pictures. That city is so green (compared to Brasov)…
Guess what? When returning the train, again, was late. Just this time there was almost an hour.
NOTE: I.R. stands for “I are” (see the animated TV series “I Am Weasel”).
GeekMeet Brasov #1 – Cloud Computing
DISCLAIMER: This post contains Romanian words – sorry for those who do not understand them.
Yesterday I attended the first GeekMeet presentation from Brasov, Romania. It was pretty exciting because I was one of the speakers.
My general impression about this event was good. The organizers did their job well, with little mistakes – mistakes are inevitable for the first event :). The presentations were nice too; there were six:
- Mihai Gheza – “SEO Kung Fu”
He told us about SEO and what can we do to improve it. - Victor Hurdugaci – “Cloud Computing – Lumea din nor”
My presentation. - Maria Diaconu – Agile, Scrum, XP
A 30 minutes workshop about the basic idea behind Agile methodologies. - Claudiu Gamulescu – “eCommerce – Analiza de Criza”
A presentation about the effects of crysis on electronic commerce - Vlad Georgescu – “Design Related”
Some general design related topics. Actually this presenation started an intresting debate about speculation and employment. - Bobby Voicu
Bobby’s presentation did not have a name. I will copy what Mihai said, Bobby’s presentation was a “friendly preaching”.
Mihai already uploaded his presentation. When the others will follow him I will update their links.
My presentation can be downloaded by click the following link: cloud-computing-geekmeet-2009-03-28. It is about cloud computing, mainly focused on Microsoft Windows Azure. Because there were no feedback form – unfortunately – I want to ask my visitors who attended the presentation to give some feedback (as a comment or by e-mail at contact [at] victorhurdugaci [dot] com).
I am still waiting for pictures. When some will be available I will upload them here.
See you on GeekMeet Brasov 2 (April 25 – same place, same hour).
