MCPD stands for Microsoft Certified Professional Developer. It is the latest certification by Microsoft targeted at Visual Studio 2005 (.NET 2.0) developers.
I will be primarily focussing on the MCPD: Enterprise Applications Developer certification path as that is the most challenging and by far the most beneficial credential from a career standpoint for a professional .NET developer. Those who want to specialize in Web or Windows client development will also find MCPD certification paths tailor made for them and will benefit from this blog as most of the exams are common.
The following exams need to be completed to achieve the MCPD: Enterprise Applications Developer credential -
- .NET Framework 2.0 - Application Development Foundation (Exam 70-536)
- Web Applications (Exam 70-528)
- Windows Applications (Exam 70-526)
- Distributed Applications (Exam 70-529)
- Enterprise Applications (Exam 70-549)
None of the above exams are released yet. However, most are slated to be released by mid-2006. More information on MCPD can be found in the Microsoft Learning site here.
The first MCPD related exam expected to be released in February 2006 is Exam 70-528 which will be the starting point of our pursuit of the MCPD.
