I boldly went and took the Visual C++ BrainBench Certification without preparing myself in any refreshment task. I am very much caught in a surprise as i notice that the Visual C++ BrainBench actually means Windows programming in C++ , that includes OLE/COM, WndProc from scratch, device context and loads of other stuffs which frankly i have not been coding these natively but took the easy IDE way out.
It was a good test i must admit, it reveals to me how much i have taken for granted the advance tools and how much less i remembered of these subjects.
Here are the results anyway ( :-( scored within 3.x ...my python was 3.3, i was expecting a 4.x for a familiar language): BrainBench Visual C++ supervised :

Hi,
ReplyDeleteCan you please guide a bit more on how to prepare for the Brainbench VC++ certification . I work mainly on Win32 SDK and do not have an exp on other advanced topics .
Thanks in advance.

Praveen,
ReplyDeleteVC++, mostly is the SDK stuffs, especially GUI apis . Work on this and it should be ok.
There are some other COM and OLE topics that u must at least know some extent though not extensively. Nothing much will be tested on the C
++ language itself.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for your response. For the last one week I have also been working on the ActiveX Control using SDK. I hope it will go along the lines as you have suggested for COM.
Please keep providing your valuable suggestions.Thanks again.
