MCTS, Torque and C++

These are the next tree step in my plan for becoming a better game developer. Well, actually only the two (C++ and Torque) are something in the game developing category. The MCTS (Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist) is something I do through my work. I have to read two big book about .NET 2.0 to complete the two exams. Studying for the MCTS is what will have the highest priority until I'm done. So I wouldn't get much time to game development in the near future, sadly. I'll try to complete this as fast as I can, so I can get back to the games :)
After I have finished this, I want to understand the Torque engine better, and therefore I need to learn a little C++.
But to put the plan in a more simple form:
1. Study for MCTS and complete it. (Looks pretty easy when you put it like this, isn't it? :) )
2. Understand TGE and TGB, but mostly just Torque in generel.
3. Start learn a little C++. I hope this will go a little fast because i already know Java and C#.
But that's the plan for the next couple of months, wish me luck!
I'll try to keep you updated.
Our website is also under construction, and I am waiting for my brother to complete the design, so I can put it all together. As it is now, I only have my blog running, which is actually find for the moment. www.laumania.net

I hope I can learn C++ a little fast, because I already know Java and C#. I know C++ is much different, it is not running in a "Virtual machine" like Java and C#, so you don't have GarbageCollection for an example, so you have to do alot more disposing your self, and things like that. Looking forward to play around with it....but have to finish the MCTS first :)

@Andy: I haven't been to any of the eams yet. As far as i have understood it, I have to read two books. One that is about the .NET 2.0 framework in generel, and then one about ASP.NET 2.0 inparticular. Im reading the .NET 2.0 in generel now, it's called: Application Development Foundation. Most of it I already know, but sometimes, there is a little tricky thing that your learn :) So have to read it all :) But actually it pretty interesting.I hope I can learn C++ a little fast, because I already know Java and C#.
