Today I took and successfully passed the Microsoft 70-528 exam (Web Apps). Woohoo! As with the last one, it was much harder than I thought it would be with lots of obscure and ambiguous questions. Someone needs to tell the Microsoft Learning guys that Visual Studio now has IntelliSense. I only took the 70-536 exam last Friday, but I've been working with ASP.NET for awhile, so I was able to breeze through a bunch of the objectives. That and I am currently an unassigned consultant, so I have 40 hours+ a week to prepare. Unfortunately, I know that won't last, but I'm also looking forward to diving back into the game.
Next up is either the 70-529 (Distributed Apps) or the IBM RUP certification. I'm taking the weekend off from studying; I'll figure it out Monday.
