Prepare for Microsoft
Certification with
InnerWorkings Study Guides
For many software organizations, the benefits of Microsoft
certification are obvious. The prospect of gaining tangible
evidence of developer skills and benefiting from significant
performance improvements[1] make these credentials
attractive to both developers and managers alike.
As most certification veterans will agree, however, it isn’t
easy to prepare for certification exams in a systematic or
structured way. And unless the coding techniques learned for
exams are quickly applied to the real world, it’s all too easy
for that knowledge to fade.
That’s where the Microsoft Certification Study Guides from
InnerWorkings can help. Each of these guides includes a
comprehensive program of exam prep resources for
achieving key Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist
(MCTS) and Microsoft Certified Professional Developer
(MCPD) qualifications. All the exams listed below are
supported, and all associated preparatory material can be
accessed from the award-winning InnerWorkings Developer
learning environment, alongside our standard .NET learning
Drills.
Each exam guide provides all the content and research
material needed to pass these exams including:
; Online access to the full text of exam-related books
(including official Microsoft Press exam prep
material) from Safari Books Online
; A selection of hand-picked exam-relevant articles
and resources from the Web
; A practice test from MeasureUp where developers
can access typical exam questions and take an in-
flight simulation of the exam itself
; Hands-on coding practice on certification topics
The InnerWorkings coding challenges add a deeper
dimension to the preparation, to ensure that your
developers’ exam savvy translates into better code. By
supplementing exam content with suggested Drills from our
catalog, our solution ensures that your developers don’t just
learn by rote—they actually get to practice the technologies
being discussed, enhancing their coding exper
