Class Spotlight: MS-10175A Microsoft SharePoint 2010, Application Development

This class should be considered for certification and will help to prepare students for the 70-573 Exam.  This class is for experienced SharePoint 2007 developers who want to see the new features of SharePoint 2010.  

It showcases the ease of developing SharePoint applications with the built-in tools of Visual Studio 2010.  It introduces some of the new features of SharePoint Designer 2010 in the SharePoint web application development.  The developer candidate should be well versed in Visual Studio and the C# application language as this class does not teach these skills, it simply shows the student how to apply these skills to SharePoint development.

Once a student successfully completes this course, they can then take the MS-10232 course, which gets them into developing SharePoint Applications.

Class Spotlight: MS-10174 Configuring and Managing Microsoft SharePoint 2010

MS-10174 should be considered for certification and will help you prepare for the 70-667 Exam. Ideal for IT installers and current Sharepoint Administrators of Sharepoint 2007, this class is also for individuals who are upgrading from Sharepoint 2007 to Sharepoint 2010. You should have Sharepoint 2007 experience before taking this course, so I would recommend taking some end-user courses first if you don't the background knowledge.
