Due to bunch of busy stuff, I had not have chance to blog.

Anyway, I am pleased to share that I am now officially MCPD (Microsoft Certified Professional Developer) in Windows Azure.

Obtaining MCPD in Windows Azure requires three exams:

Exam 70-513 – MCTS prerequisite: TS: Windows Communication Foundation Development with Microsoft .NET Framework 4
Exam 70-516 – MCTS prerequisite: TS: Accessing Data with Microsoft .NET Framework 4
Exam 70-583 – MCPD requirement: PRO: Designing and Developing Windows Azure Applications

Passing the core 70-538 Beta Exam

I have successfully passed the beta exam of Designing and Developing Windows Azure Applications about a year ago. Beta exam is more challenging than normal exam. There’re no official preparation material, no training kit, no e-book, no online training.

It’s just purely state a few topics with their short descriptions what will be tested.

Passing the MCTS Prerequisite: 70-516 and 70-513

As you can see that, there are 2 prerequisites exams that need to be accomplished apart form the core exam 70-583. I had passed the 70-516 last September and 70-513 just last week.

With that, here’s my MCPD cert in Windows Azure Winking smile
