The MCSA certification is much more rigorous then I had originally thought. I am studying the first book 'Training Kit 70-461 Querying Microsoft SQL Server' and it's packed with info. Taking some time to digest. This will not be easy for me. Although, I've already written and used much of the code discussed for years, the way the book dives into the minute detail humbles me at how poor my code has been. My typical study arrangement...iced coffee,iPad, headphones, pen & paper. Trying to hit up non-Starbucks locations.
By happenstance I own several Sony ZX Series Headphones: ZX-100 ZX-110 ZX-310 Build Quality (ZX-310 Wins) They use mostly a Plastic Build that is quite durable; the ZX-100 I've had for over 2 1/2 years and been thrown about in my Backpack & Car. The ONLY issue with the lower model ZX-100 & ZX-110 Series are the crappy Earpads that disintegrate and create a flaky vinyl mess. Those flakes then get stuck to your ears & hair. The ZX-310 wins in that regard with much better quality Earpads. Cost (ZX-100/110 Wins) ZX-310's cost about twice that of the ZX-100/110 and I've been able to find several 310's for about $18 at Discount Retailers. ZX-110's should go for about $10. Specs They are all 30mm Drivers. The ZX-310 has a wider Frequency Range of 10 ~ 24,000 Hz and a Gold 1/8" Plug. The ZX-100/110 are roughly identical going 12 ~ 22,000 Hz. Sound (ZX-100 Wins) Surprisingly, I prefer the ZX-100's Sound Signature vs. the 110 and 31
Note to myself...finally passed the MCSA 70-461 on Jan 15, 2016. Took me long enough. But nice to review my old postings and remind myself that I tried and eventually followed through.
