微软软件开发方面新认证体系分析

一、选择一个什么样的微软认证？ 

MCSD认证的考试将会在2009年3月31日后作废，也就意味着MCSD将从那时候起慢慢地退出认证的历史舞台，接替他登场的就是全新的MCPD认证。所以初步定为MCPD。新的认证体系如图所示：

 

l         MCTS

The Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS)

MCTS认证侧重于某项的微软产品或技术的资格的鉴定，考试科目最少只要1科就可以获得1项MCTS认证。基本的计算机应用能力，微软公司建议考生最好相应的软件使用和技术应用的经验。

l         MCPD

MCPD（Microsoft Certified Professional Developer）分为2005和2008两个系列，分别针对VS2005&.NET Framework 2.0 和 VS2008&.NET Framework 3.5考察。每一系列有分为三个不同的方向：

•	MCPD: Windows Developer
•	MCPD: Web Developer
•	MCPD: Enterprise Applications Developer

现在自己主要是在做Windows Developer, MCPD: web Developer不合适。可以选择

MCPD: Windows Developer 或MCPD: Enterprise Applications Developer

The Microsoft Certified Professional Developer: Windows Developer (MCPD: Windows Developer) certification demonstrates that you have the comprehensive skills required to build rich client applications that target the Windows Forms platform, using the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.

 MSPD:需要进行三门考试，其中两门是MCTS专项考试，另外一个PRO考试。如下表格式MCPD: Windows Developer的考试课程信息：
