SharePoint 2010: Preparing for 70-573 TS Microsoft SharePoint 2010, Application Development

 

Welcome to my series of cram sessions to prepare for the new SharePoint 2010 exams. I’m going to start with the first development exam, 70-573.  For details on the whole set of 2010 exams see here.

This is kind of “Part 0” of the series and will serve as a backgrounder and a place to post general links for 70-573 prep.  Keep checking back here as I will be updating this page as I work though all of the topics.

 

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, (more to come…)

 

Background Skills

SharePoint is a Windows Server based product created using ASP.NET, so you will need developer skills in the following before even starting to work on SharePoint Certification:

  • Solid VB.NET or C# skills  (2.0, 3.0 and 3.5)
  • Solid ASP.NET skills
  • and a host of other related skills:
    • Workflow
    • WCF
    • JavaScript (and JQuery is a good idea)
    • HTML / DHTML
    • CSS
    • Silverlight
    • AJAX
  • and don’t forget:
    • User interface design skills
    • An understanding of user “accessibility” issues (and legal concerns)

Classes

Here’s a few of the classes available at MAX Technical Training that will be of value:
