    DataSys+

    I think Datasys+ could definitely fill a nice certification gap in database courses now that Microsoft has retired their SQL certifications.

    Data+ Exam

    Congrats! While I did mine a while back, there's nothing wrong with leaving it to the last minute. Voucher expiry is an excellent and effective motivator :)

    I'm getting disillusioned

    I'll chime in here with my two cents. I agree that there are many people who want to cut corners and just get certified - mastering a subject matter area is irrelevant to them. However, I've seen this since the 1990s when braindumps and "paper MCSEs" were rampant. At the same time, I think...

And employers want to see grads that have worked on...

    Linus Tech Tips - That's gotta hurt...

    The attack vector was a malicious PDF attachment that was targeted to LTT via spear phishing. It stole the session cookies from the browser and sent them to the attacker's server, so the email with the PDF attachment was clearly opened from within the browser (Linus mentioned it was the LTT...

    This one wasn't too difficult at all (I didn't prepare at all for it beyond what we did in the TTT and prior teaching experience).
