Moving to development

  Hi,

  
  

  I'm looking to get into development (more precisely C# and .NET), as I've always enjoyed it, and my work right now does not involve it at all. My university studies have included C++ and Java, and I've done some previous reading and "playing around" with C#. I guess what I wanted to say with this is that I have a basic programming background and therefore not totally green. 

  
  

  I've been looking at the different certifications and based on those my ultimate goal would probably be MCTS: .NET Framework 3.5, Windows Presentation Foundation Applications. What's a good plan to start learning this? I was thinking studying for the 70-563 exam, as this is a pre-requisite to the MCTS and that it would at the same time provide me with some basics of C# and .NET, but I'm worried that that may be too advanced to start with?

  
  

  I would really like to to have a plan to reach my ultimate goal, so I can learn in a structured way. Otherwise, I tend be all over the place instead of focusing on what I need to learn.

  
  

  Thanks,

  Daniel
