As most everyone knows I've been job hunting for a developers job in Baton Rouge. I've been working overtime on my proficiency in C#, .NET, ASP.NET, VB.NET, etc ever since I found out I'd have to find new employment. As I've stated before almost everyone is looking for .NET style developers. Well today I actually got to test my knowledge with an online test provided to me by a recruiter. Here are the results...

I normally would be destroyed about coming out in the middle of the field but I'm very happy with the results considering that I haven't been dedicated to learning this language for very long. Prior to a month ago I'd purchased Visual Studio 2005 and a book on the subject but had almost no time to further my knowledge on use of the environment. Since the first week of January its been my focus along with trying to find where my career will be going. So in a month of real study I've gone from theoretical knowledge to proficient. I should get into the top 20% in the next month or so. Good news for me.
