Hey fellow SharePoint newbies,
Are any of you interested in studying for Microsoft certification exams? I tend to use cert exams as motivation to learn new technologies. To be honest, I’ve not done as well at this (this time) as I thought I would, as I managed to fail both the Dev and Admin exams for SP2010 – even though I thought I was rather well prepared.
There’s an expression, “Never a failure, always a lesson.” Well my lesson was to practice more. I need to do all of the exercises in the Training Kit from MS for Configuring SP2010, and I need to do much more practice development.
SO… In order to lay a foundation of knowledge about the SharePoint environment, I am diving back in to the Training Kit and have another go at the Configuring exam (and that will be discontinued this summer, so time is running out!).
Anyone interested in sharing the journey? …Keeping each other going (nagging) 🙂
Give a shout!
I’m definitely interested in certification exams. I’m nowhere near ready for them yet, but it is a goal of mine to attain a SharePoint certification in the near(ish) future. I think I’d start with the MCTS exam 70-573 for SP2010 Application Development, since that is where most of my knowledge lies. Is that the Dev exam you were talking about? Any pointers for things I should be paying special attention to when I come across them in projects?
Thanks!
