MSCD: Web Applications

Has anyone done one of these?

I've been a developer for 15 years, but non-Microsoft technologies.

I need this qualification. How easy is it?

Firstly, why do you need the qualification? If you have 15 years worth of experience in other technology stacks and only this bit of paper will get you a job how much worth do you think there is in the bit of paper?

Need it to boost points for emmigration to Australia.

Personally, I couldn't give a rat's ass about the qualification, but it will help speed up the process enormously

Thought is was MCPD now. I've got the old MCAD.net qualification, which was 3 exams. Exams are easy if you get hold of the necessary exam cram books.

MS exams were certainly pretty easy when I did them years ago, and they had a pretty poor reputation because of this. A lot of companies liked their employees to do them because it helped them gain partner status with MS.

I *believe* MS have tried to make them harder and more credible, but whether that is really true or not I do not know.

The trouble with the MS qualifications is how easy it is to get hold of so called "braindumps" containing the actual test questions and answers. A permie I used to work with, who was largely incompetent, managed to get the complete MCPD using this method (and openly admitted it to me for some odd reason! ).
