SYNOPSIS
Microsoft’s
MCAD (Microsoft Certified Application Developer) is a mid-level certification
for professional developers who build powerful applications using Microsoft
Visual Studio® .NET and Web services. MCAD candidates typically work at
development, testing, deployment and maintenance, leaving analysis and design
to MCSD (Microsoft Certified Solution Developer) candidates.
The
MCAD got its start back in June of 2002. This certification does not retire but
newer versions of it may be released as technology changes. There are no specific
prerequisites for the MCAD, although Microsoft recommends that if you are new
to building .NET applications, you should follow this educational roadmap: Get Started
with Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Development Today. As soon as candidates
pass their first qualifying exam for the MCAD program, they achieve a Microsoft
Certified Professional (MCP) certification. Moreover, a candidate that has achieved
the MCAD has a good start on the MCSD requirements.
Job roles of those
pursuing this certification generally include: programmer, programmer/analyst
and software developer.
