I want to study 70-536, 70-562 and 70-564. I was planning to setup a desktop
at home with Visual Studio 2008 so I can try out all the lessons in these subjects. My question is, will the Standard Edition suffice for this or do I need the Professional Edition? Benjamin Rogers |

Candidates for this exam use Microsoft Visual Studio in a team-based, medium-sized to large development environment. Two, a "team-based, medium-sized to large development environment"... This doesn't mean you have to have actual experience in this environment, but it means that the exam questions have been written with the presumption that the candidate does. This, then, implies not only Visual Studio Professional Edition, but possibly some experience with Team Edition for Developers. As for the Std Ed vs Pro Ed question -- there's very little difference in those two products. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-au/vs20.../cc149003.aspx The most significant being the additional debugging facilities included in Pro Ed, that are not in the Std Ed, but since you're focusing on ASP.NET development topics, this is likely less of a real issue (than it might be for WinApps or EnterpriseApps). Ultimately, what you require to "try out all the lessons" will be stated in whatever training materials you're using. If the Training Guide says you can use Std Edition, then you can use it. If the Training Guide says you need Professional Edition, then that's what you'll need. But, given that Microsoft offers a 90-day trial edition of Visual Studio Professional Edition, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vs20.../cc268305.aspx I can't think of any reason why you shouldn't use Professional Edition for your training! -- Lawrence Garvin, M.S., MCITP(x2), MCTS(x5), MCP(x7), MCBMSP Principal/CTO, Onsite Technology Solutions, Houston, Texas Microsoft MVP - Software Distribution (2005-2009) MS WSUS Website: http://www.microsoft.com/wsus My Websites: http://www.onsitechsolutions.com; http://wsusinfo.onsitechsolutions.com My MVP Profile: http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/pro...awrence.Garvin Lawrence Garvin \(MVP\) |
