The new Microsoft
Certified Professional Developer (MCPD)
credentials provide IT professionals
with a more targeted framework to
showcase their technical skills in
addition to the skills that are
required for specific developer job
roles. If you develop applications
by using Visual Studio 2005 and the
.NET Framework 2.0, consider earning
the MCPD on Visual Studio 2005
certification. The available
certification paths include the
following:
- Windows Developer for
developers who build rich client
applications that target the
Windows Forms platform, using
the Microsoft .NET Framework
2.0.
- Web Developer for developers
who build interactive,
data-driven Web applications
that use ASP.NET 2.0 for both
intranet and Internet uses.
Enterprise Application Developer
for developers who build n-tier
solutions that target both Web and
client user experiences.
If you plan to develop applications
by using Visual Studio 2008 and the
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5, the
Microsoft Certified Professional
Developer (MCPD) on Visual Studio
2008 certifications can help you
validate your skills and abilities.
Candidates should have two to three
years of experience using the
underlying technologies that are
covered in the exam. The available
certification paths include the
following:
- Windows Developer 3.5 for
developers who build rich client
applications for the Windows
Forms platform by using the
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.

Note: The courses listed on our
website are all different, having
been developed over a period of
years. The PowerLearning™ courses
are presented by Industry
Specialists and use a powerful
combination of audio, full-motion
video, text and colourful graphics.
Some have simulations and some don't
have simulations at all. In high-end
courses, there is no realistic way
to simulate the product in enough
detail to help on the exam. To pass
the exam students will need hands on
practice using the real software.
They need to either download a trial
version of the software or buy
licensing for it and practice using
it. Its really the only way to be
fully prepared for both the exam and
on the job. That is really where our
training shines. We provide the
necessary pieces for people to grasp
and to give them a road map of sorts
to practice on their own.
