Yesterday I passed the 1st exam to upgrade my MCSD.NET to MCPD EA certification.
Last Friday I did the 70-553 exam for the first time. I failed by only 30 points on one of the three parts of the exam, the windows development part. So I had to retake the exam.
If you need to study for the exam I can advise you the guide of my colleague David San Filippo. And the Transcenders are always helpful.
Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server is selling like a rock these days, it seesm like almost every Microsoft developer is doing MOSS. But MOSS also has it’s downsides of course.
1) A lack of tools to support the developer in his day-to-day work. Tools like the WSP builder for instance which is build by the community.
2) A lack of guidance.
Avanade now teams together with Microsoft to provide more guidance to Sharepoint developers!
| "SharePoint projects can be more risky than traditional .NET projects because the developer best practices and tools for the platform aren't as mature" says Mike Chorey, GT&S Solutions Architect @ Avanade “Our goals were to create consistency and cut ramp-up time in half for Sharepoint developers. With the new guidance from the Patterns & Practices team, delivering SharePoint projects will be much more predictable and lower risk." |
