I'm currently working towards the Microsoft Certified Professional Developer (MCPD) certification. After weeks of self paced studying, I figured it was time to take a test. I figured a good place to get an exam was Brainbench.com and I was right. Several of the questions covered in the exam were not in the Microsoft literature that I have been studying. So this gave me a chance to prove my knowledge. I took the C# exam. It is 40 questions long and covered the following topics:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-Object-Oriented Programming
-Developing Data Consumers and Services
-Properties, Indexers, and Fields
-Grammar
-Configuration and Support
-Delegates
-Value and Reference Types
-Methods
I did pretty well - well enough to pass and I scored higher than 39% of previous test takers. I also earned a really neat logo that I can now display on my web site or on my resume!
