MCSD vs. MCPD: wich path?

Hello,


I'm currently studying for 70-306 exam. This is going to be my first
certification test. I know that the MCSD is well known in the employment
market, which I wanted to obtain because of the benefits I can obtain of it.

Now I found the new VS2005 MCPD. I can obtain it with less exams than the
MCSD.

Now the question is which path is the best for people like me?


Thanks,



Carlos

Carlos,

I would take a look at what your employer is planning to use. If you
are going to be developing in .NET 1.1 for sometime, then stick with
the MCSD. If there are plans to adopt .NET 2.0 right away, then I
would start on the MCPD path.

Good luck,

Vic
