Hi William,
Thanks.. maybe I'll have a go at the exam once I've done enough study via the pluralsight website. That being said, I probably should have started with WebForms rather than MVC, but I'm already curious with MVC now.

It does mean it may be a little more difficult to get through the door for the first interview compared with someone else who has the same amount of .NET experience as yourself, but as an ASP.NET dev. That said, it also depends on what the company that is hiring is after. I'm sure there are many companies out there that are actively searching for good .NET developers and would happily give you a go.

Does that mean I'm pretty much employable since I have little to no ASP.NET experience, despite my level of Dot Net experience in WinForms and Compact Framework development? I am studying ASP.NET when I can, but don't have any real work experience with it yet. I feel like I'm fighting an uphill battle to try and get into a full-time Dot Net development role (I'm only doing Dot Net development as a portion of my job at the moment).
