Como comentei no post anterior pretendo publicar todo conteúdo que tenho off-line, e o que meus alunos e colegas de trabalho mais solicitam são os resultados das pesquisas que fiz quando estava estudando para realizar as provas da Microsoft.

Como já trabalhava há algum tempo com desenvolvimento, não foi tão difícil completar os skills que eram necessários para realizar a prova com segurança, mas como estudar não mata ninguém resolvi revisar uma série de aspectos do framework que não trabalhava com tanta frequência, foi a melhor coisa que fiz. Você realmente conhece o framework .net? Reflita um pouco, respire fundo e olhe os assuntos abordados nas provas conceituais e técnicas, você vai se surpreender.

As provas e certificações não são um fim, mas sim um meio de se obter o conhecimento necessário para dominar a plataforma ou ferramenta que você trabalha, sendo assim, a postura de profissionais que acham que suas certificações os diferenciam em alguma coisa não é uma verdade absoluta, o que realmente diferencia um profissional é o fato dele saber usar corretamente o seu “cinto de utilidades“, ou seja, saber aplicar corretamente o conhecimento adquirido ao longo de sua carreira. Participei de uma mesa redonda no grupo DFTestes onde vários profissionais apresentaram suas visões sobre o assunto, o resumo está disponível no site QualidadeBR, invista um tempo para refletir sobre os comentários feitos lá.

Vamos ao que interessa, seguem os links que me ajudaram a estudar para o exame 70-536:
