MTA 98-361: How I passed MTA - Software Development Fundamentals? :) Let’s Define Microsoft Technology Associate     (c) Microsoft     (c) Useful Link Who should take this exam?     (c) Microsoft What Skills do I need to study for the Exam? Check on this :  Microsoft How did I prepare? I have an experience in VB.NET and C#, because way back in College we had a course that focuses on Microsoft Visual Basic .NET and current on my work we are using C#.

To remember camel case you have to think about the shape of the capital letters. They are like the humps of a camel as you can see this image.
