Overview
If you are developing .NET Framework 2.0 applications that use Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 the Microsoft Certified Professional Developer (MCPD) Windows Application credential highlights your job role, featuring your specific area of expertise. Now you can easily distinguish yourself as an expert in Windows development.
As a Professional Developer in Windows Development you will have the skills necessary to build rich client applications that target the Windows Forms platform using the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.
Our nine day (9) Microsoft Certified Professional Developer (MCPD) Accelerated Course:
- Allows you to achieve your certifications in a fraction of the time of 'traditional training' while delivering industry-leading exam passing percentages
