As many of you know, I just finished my first week at my new job.  I am training to be the Web Application Developer for .NET.  I am trying to figure out what is the best method to go about training myself to be MCTS and then MCPD with focusing in on ASP.NET for the 3.5 Framework.

I currently have chosen to lean toward C# for development over Visual Basic.  To me, it is much closer to languages I already am familiar with, such as Java, and would be an easier syntax for me to learn.

Back to training.  I am trying to decide what is the best method, classes, online, books, but more specifically what combinaton of these.  I have the 2 books that Microsoft had suggested for the two exams I have to take for my MCTS.  Not sure where else to go from there.  I have approximately 9 months to be MCPD certified, which seems a bit hefty, but hopefully I can do it.

Anyhow, if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.  Thanks!
