The Microsoft Certified Professional Developer: Enterprise Applications Developer (MCPD: Enterprise Applications Developer) credential demonstrates that you have the comprehensive skills required to build n-tier solutions targeting both Web and rich-client user experiences.
How to Earn Your MCPD: Enterprise Applications Developer
MCPD: Enterprise Applications Developer candidates must first meet the requirements for all three of the MCTS credentials for the .NET Framework 2.0 (four exams)*:
