Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS): Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5, Windows Workflow Foundation Applications

18 months ago I decided to become Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS): Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5, Windows Workflow Foundation Applications. I bought a book (Windows Workflow Foundation Step by Step) and started reading. After reading about 150 pages I was to busy to continue reading.

Three months ago I started reading the book again and I finally finished it just before the end of 2011.

Today I had my exam to my surprise I had to answer 70 questions were my past exams had only 50 questions. It was a really tough exam. I needed 140 minutes to finish the exam.

But I passed the exam this is really one to be proud off! If you want to try this exam I really recommend you (when you read the some book) to look at the differences between WWF 3.0 and 3.5. Beside that I also recommend you to take this training (6462A: Visual Studio 2008: Windows Workflow Foundation (2 Days)) which one I did not attend.

Fully certified SharePoint 2010 Specialist (MCPD & MCITP)

It took me long enough to get all off the SharePoint certificates but Yesterday I finally passed the last exam.

I know have the following SharePoint 2010 certificates:

70-573: MCTS: Microsoft SharePoint 2010, Application Development
70-667: MCTS: Microsoft SharePoint 2010, Configuring
70-668: PRO: Microsoft SharePoint 2010, Administrator
70-576: PRO: Designing and Developing Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Applications

I have to say that 70-668 was the hardest exams of them all. But I think that everyone that has enough experience with SharePoint can pass these exams you just have to filter out the wrong answers.

For now I will take a few months of rest in which I will move to my new house in Vlaardingen and wait till the moment my lovely girlfriend will give birth to our son/daughter.

And then I will go for the .NET Framework 3.5 exams especially (.NET Framework 3.5, Windows Workflow Foundation Applications (70-504)).

Fully certified SharePoint Specialist

It took me long enough to get all off the WSS and MOSS certificates but today I finally passed the last exam (Configuring Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 : 70-631) and I have to say that that is one of the hardest exams for a developer. Know up to .NET Framework 3.5, Windows Workflow Foundation Applications (70-504).
