• Study Group Forming

  A volunteer has stepped up to lead a study group for the MCPD Web Developer certification.  If you are interested please contact me either through the website here or my blog (http://www.mvwood.com/blog).  We are trying to keep the study groups smaller so that it will be easier to meet and organize so this group only has five open slots; first come, first serve.  Posted Aug 02 2007, 09:46 AM by MikeWo with 3 comment(s) Filed under: General News, Microsoft
