Re: mcsd to mcpd

HI Chris,

Thanks for the info. I was looking more on the lines on the reading material
required (as per SirreadAlot). Do I need all the following books for the
exams?

(Exam 70–553)

MCTS Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-526): Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0
Windows-Based Client Development

MCTS Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-528): Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0
Web-Based Client Development

MCTS Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-536): Microsoft .NET Framework
2.0—Application Development Foundation


for exam 70-554

MCTS Self-Paced Training Kit (Exams 70-529): Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0
Distributed Application Development

MCPD Self-Paced Training Kit (Exams 70-549): Designing and Developing
Enterprise Applications Using the Microsoft .NET Framework (available late
2006)

Thanks again.

Craig

You need to take (and pass) 2 exams. 70-553 & 70-554. That's it.

You can also find the info at:
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/mcpd/entapp/default.mspx

.... you just need to scroll down to the section entitles "Upgrade Exam for
MCSD (Two Exams Required - MCTS not required)".

about it, going through the Microsoft website upgrade information, it

all that clear about the material needed.

Any mature intelligent ideas anyone?
