We have several developers who are MCPDs on version 2.0 of the .net framework. We'd like to upgrade these certifications to 4.0.

Microsoft has a upgrade path as follows:

2.0 > 3.5 : http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/exam.aspx?ID=70-567

3.5 > 4.0 : http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/exam.aspx?ID=70-523

If you look at 70-567 (3.5 upgrade) there are no course materials/books/elearning options. 70-523 is even worse - there aren't even practice exams listed.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to best prepare for these upgrade exams? We tried contacting MS but didn't have any luck - they passed us off to a partner who didn't have anything useful to tell us.

Thanks.

The only book I could find on this topic is available at Amazon for exam 70-567.

It does not seem there are any specific books for the 70-523 exam, although it has now been practically a year since its availability. Your best best is to switch to the newest books related the.NET 4.0 framework, like the self-paced training kits (example: 70-515)

FYI - I purchased this book, and it's pretty thin. I think it's more for a quick overview just before you write the exam. I don't think I'd recommend it as a definitive guide. – ScottE Nov 21 '11 at 1:05
@ScottE thanks for the update. – Jalayn Nov 21 '11 at 6:34
