MCTS or completing MCSD

[Harsh Gupta]

I completed 1 exam for MCSD (Web App. Module).

I was just looking at different MCTS certificates. They don't have any exam related to Web Services.

But if I prefer to go with MCTS, I will most probably prefer:

2.0 Web Apps (http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/mcts/webapps/default.mspx)

2.0 Windows App (http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/mcts/winapps/default.mspx)

Office SharePoint 2007 - Application Development (http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/mcts/spserver/appdev/default.mspx)

And maybe:
SQL Server 2005 (http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/mcts/sql/)

What do you people suggest, MCSD or MCTS?

My suggestion would be to go for the one that would be most applicable to your individual career goals. Given where you want to go, what do you think would make the most sense?

I would probably go for winapps, reasoning being that if you are a certified windows developer most of the .NET technologies etc.. that the exam is based on would apply to the webapps one anyway. So in turn you would sort of have both. Thats just my two cents, i haven't taken any of them or looked into them so don't take my word for much.

I believe you people misunderstood the question.

I would like to know if I should opt for MCTS or considering completing my MCSD?

I said that if I opt for MCTS, these will be the examination I prefer to take.

Oh....you are right, I did misunderstand.

In this case, I would recommend going for the MCTS.
