Upgraded Certification

With the new version of the .NET Framework, I needed to upgrade my .NET Certifications to this new version. A couple of months ago, I did the beta versions of these exams, and last week I got the results. I passed all the exams I did. They were not easy, so I was quite surprised to receive all the results positively back.

MCTS WinForms 3.5

Just got the email:

Congratulations on earning your Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist: .NET Framework 3.5, Windows Forms Applications certification! We hope you enjoy the benefits of your certification and of membership in the Microsoft Certified Professional community.

MCPD ASP.NET 3.5

After two months, I finally got the result of the beta exam for my MCPD ASP.NET 3.5 certification. I passed!
I am still waiting for two more exams from the beginning of December, but hopefully they will follow shortly!

Certified SQL Server Developer

With the wave of beta exams the last month, I've earned three new certifications:
MCTS: SQL Server 2008, Database Development, MCTS: SQL Server 2008, Business Intelligence Development and Maintenance and MCITP: Database Developer 2008.

Quite funny the SQL Developer is under the MCITP certification brand, instead of the MCPD.

First 3.5 Certifications

Last week I had finaly the results of my beta exam 70-562 for the MCTS ASP.NET 3.5 certificiation. Microsoft let me know that I have passed the exam! So it is my first VS2008 certificate.
Update:I also had a mail two days later I succeeded in the beta ADO.NET 3.5 exam. That's two down, still four to go ;)

MOSS 2007 Certification (70-542)

After my WSS Certificate yesterday, I passed the MOSS Developer exam (70-542) today with 969 points.
So now "I know everything" of InfoPath WebForms, the Business Data Catalog, Sharepoint Search, Audiences, Excel Web Access & Report Services, SharePoint Portals, Policies & Record Repositories, etc. etc... and have the MCTS: Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 – Application Development certification.

WSS3.0 Certification (70-541)

I did my 70-541 certification exam today, and passed with a score of 972! Altough the exam was tough, I'm again in the books for the 70-542 (MOSS2007) exam, tomorrow mornig.

So what I've learned? Building webparts, features, site templates, workflows, custom fields, events, etc., etc....

What I've earned? Another MCTS on my CV ;)

MCPD - EAD

Yesterday I had my 70-554 exam, and fortunately I passed with 880! It was a hard and difficult exam, so I was really glad to see this number on my screen.

070-553 down, 070-554 to go
