Microsoft - MCTS .NET 4 Data Access, Windows and Service Communication Applications
Overview
The Microsoft MCTS .NET 4 Data Access, Windows and Service Communication Applications certification is designed to teach you the following:
- Developing Data Access Solutions with Microsoft Visual Studio 2010
- Developing Windows Applications with Microsoft Visual Studio 2010
- Developing Windows Communication Foundation Solutions with Microsoft Visual Studio 2010
You will be tested on the following exams:

- Exam 70-513 - TS: Windows Communication Foundation Development with Microsoft .NET Framework 4
Why .Net 4.0?
Microsoft is positioning Visual Studio 2010 as its tool platform to support Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Azure, SQL Server, Office 2010 and SharePoint 2010. The suite includes new drag and drop bindings for Silverlight and Windows Presentation Foundation; interoperability with the ASP.Net model view controller (MVC), better multicore support and UML support.
Below is a detailed list of new enhancements:
Visual Studio 2010
- Code Snippets
- New Profiles
- Generate from Usage
- Multi-Trageting
- Multi-Monitor
- Code Navigation in Class Files
- IntelliSense Improvements

You will learn how to:
- Decouple your entity model from the data using Plain Old CLR Objects (POCOs).
- Write classes that can track changes to their own state for n-tier development with Entity Framework.
- Simplify your service deployment with zero config services with WCF 4.0.
- Write rich web applications that are simpler to unit test.
- Create REST based services based on the ASP.NET infrastructure
Benefits
Other accelerated training providers rely heavily on lecture and independent self-testing and study.
Effective technical instruction must be highly varied and interactive to keep attention levels high, promote camaraderie and teamwork between the students and instructor, and solidify knowledge through hands-on learning.
Firebrand Training provides instruction to meet every learning need:
- Intensive group instruction
- One-on-one instruction attention
- Hands-on labs
- Lab partner and group exercises
- Question and answer drills
- Independent study
