Upgrade MCAD to MCPD 3.5 path
Nov 30th
As the latest technologies –Server 2008 and Visual Studio 2008 are born out, Microsoft have released the corresponding exams .So .most of exams corresponding to the oldest technology are retired ,such as some of MCSA/MCSE exams ,most of MCSD and MCAD and so on .Because most of them are related to Visual studio 2000 or Server 2000.
So, many MCAD holders want to upgrade their MCAD certs on .Net 1.0 to MCPD.net 3.5 .Unfortunately, there is no direct upgrade path from MCAD to MCPD on Visual Studio 2008 or .Net 3.5 .We recommend that you upgrade your skills to MCPD on Visual Studio 2005 and then explore the upgrade paths to Visual Studio 2008 .In other words ,you should firstly upgrade your MCSD to demonstrate your expertise in Visual Studio 2005 by earning MCTS on .net 2.0 and MCPD.Net 2.0 ,and then upgrade from MCPD .net 2.0 on Visual Studio 2005 to MCPD .net 3.5 on Visual Studio 2008.
Although we can get all the information about upgrade path from MCAD to MCPD from the Microsoft Certification site, most of the candidates are confused by the vague information .Here, we will give a detailed explanation about the .Net 3.5 upgrade path .

70-528 vs 70-562
Unfortunately when you read Microsoft’s overview of the objectives or skills measured in 70-528 and 70-562 carefully, you will find most of them are nearly the same and just in different layouts ,except the following additions to the subject material in.Net 3.5.ListViews,DataPagers,LinqDataSources,Ajax.And when you study the 70-528 self -paced Training Kit ,you will find 70 -528 cover many topics covered in 562 .However ,when you are reading and studying 70 -562 Pro ASP.net 3.5 in C# ,you will find most of the latter’s contents focusing more on Linq ,Ajax and Silverlight ,which is not very important for 70-562 ,but is interesting anyway. So, in my opinion, the primary differences will be in the new features added to ASP.NET 3.5 as well as AJAX and some Silverlight. Read the rest of this entry »
