What if you already have an MCPD in VS2005? I want to start doing the WPF, WCF, and WF, but if there's going to be a different path to upgrade my MPCD I won't bother. Is there an ETA on this or at least a recommended path? I don't want to wait several months when I can start now.

Hey Trika

So once you have 536 you dont need to do it again (whew!!).

When do you expect the WF certs to go live. When do you expect the upgrade from MCPD 2005 to MCPD 2008????

Oh and your link to Gerrys blog, links to your own :)

Trika,

The link to Gerry's blog (second instance) points to your own blog.

(In the bullet point

Betas for WPF, WCF, WF may be extended (check out Gerry's blog) and the next round of betas should start happening in March )

Hey, Cap. Unfortunately don't have more info for you now. As I say above, you can study up on the topics covered in these MCTS exams now, and in a month or two we'll have more info on what the MCPD path is. Given that exams won't be out until around then anyway, you shouldn't lose any time. Best thing to offer now, is review the MCTS objectives and get as comfortable with the technology as possible.

Niall, MCTS exams (per Live Meeting) are shceduled for March and May. MCPD exams won't be until quite a while after that, so no time soon, I bet. Watch the Live Meeting and then we'll let you know where there is more to know :-) Wish I knew more to offer.

Niall and TitusT, why are you so eager to get to Gerry's blog, huh???!? What's Gerry got that I don't got??!!! Oooooooh, Gerry-this, Gerry-that, enough about Gerry already #!$$!?##!

Just kidding. Sorry for the ego-maniacish linking. I've fixed it.

Hi Trika, can you also post a direct link to the PowerPoint presentation only? I can't seem to find it here. I'd like to use your slides as the basis for a talk at our local .NET User Group meeting.

Hey, James. The deck is being transcribed and posted to the MCP site, hopefully will be available for download in a few days. Send me a mail in the meantime and we'll get you the PPT for your meeting.

Having just begun the learning process for 70-536, I'm glad to hear I can use that for .NET 3.5 and VS2008. Thanks for the info!
