Reddit reviews Exam 98-361 MTA Software Development Fundamentals

>mostly because you need to be good at a lot of mathemtics, is this true?

This is primarily for algorithms. It's pretty easy to be good at math, the hardest part I find for people who program is that they often don't think "outside the box" in breaking their program down.

I and others recommend programming in C#. You should be able to get off the ground with the following resources:

I found a couple of online practice tests which I'll get the links for tonight, however this book (https://www.amazon.co.uk/98-361-Software-Development-Fundamentals-Microsoft/dp/047088911X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1473233040&sr=8-1&keywords=MTA+98-361) seems to have a ton of material and questions inside so I'd definitely have to recommend it.

As I said, I'll get those links for you when I finish work.
