I was reminded a few days ago about an article that a former coworker of
mine, Phil McCollum, wrote for .NET Developer's Journal a few
years ago. The article is titled MCSD
.NET Certification and covers the seven core concepts that you'll need to
know in order to pass the core MCSD .NET
exams. Phil offers some solid advice on where you should focus your efforts when
studying for these exams. The seven core concepts that he mentions are:
ADO.NET
Security
Debugging
Web Services
Events and Error
Handling
Internationalization
Assemblies/GAC
