Become a Microsoft Certified Solution Developer (MCSD)

For those tech pros seeking the top rung of the developer’s ladder, the Microsoft Certified Solution Developer (MCSD) certification is the highest programming credential conferred by Microsoft.

Rich in dynamic content and applications, the MCSD course focuses on training developers in .NET Framework versions 1.0 and 1.1.

After completing four core exams and one elective exam, your career options are wide open: the top professional titles for graduates with an MCSD include software engineer, software development engineer, software architect, and consultant. Salary potential for MCSDs is among the highest in the IT profession. Payscale cites a pay range of $60,000 to just over $105,000, depending upon experience and ability. And in 2004, MC MCSE named the MCSD as one of the top developer certifications for programmers creating web applications, working with operating systems, and developing IT-driven products and services for dedicated devices.
