Exam 70-573 TS: Microsoft SharePoint 2010, Application Development learning material

Last week I passed the Exam 70-573: TS: Microsoft SharePoint 2010, Application Development exam. People asked me what I used to prepare for the exam. Because the official learning material is pretty scarce at the moment, I used e.g. a training, read bogs, seen web casts and used my SharePoint 2007 knowledge.

The following list contains (a part of) the material I used:

Good luck with studying!

Microsoft certification paths

Since I still need to upgrade my MCSD.net certification towards MCPD Enterprise Application Developer I was looking around for information regarding all the new certifications.

I came across an useful overview, see attached.

I plan to do the first update exam(70-553) in the beginning of April.

Microsoft Certification policy changed

Microsoft has changed their certification policy, so the MCITP or MCPD credentials don't need recertification every three years.

Today I received the following e-mail:

Dear Microsoft Certified Professional,

We are pleased to inform you about a recent Microsoft Certification policy change that affects your Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP) or Microsoft Certified Professional Developer (MCPD) credential.

In response to customer feedback, Microsoft has eliminated the requirement to recertify, or refresh, your MCITP or MCPD certification every three years. This is good news for you; there is no action required to maintain the certifications you hold today.

The certification lifecycle

The Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS), MCITP, and MCPD credentials—Microsoft certifications for new technologies—are aligned with the Microsoft product lifecycle, and will retire when Microsoft discontinues mainstream support for the underlying technology. When a certification that you have earned retires, the record of your certification remains on your transcript, allowing you to retain documentation of your certification history.
