If you are completly new to the technology, then you should first concentrate on learning the technology first instead of just getting the certification. The certification could be a check at the end, that you learned it successfully but in my eyes it is
important to learn alot first. And a lot of things are not part of any certification but they are really required!
When you talk about web applications - you want to develop them? Theer are a lot of books available that explain everything from the start (and normaly cover all the topics of the 70-515 exam, too).
www.asp.net is a good start in my eyes. You find all required software there and also a lot of tutorials and a large community.
There is no requirement to go to the 70-515 exam. All you have to do is register yourself for an exam, pay the fee and then you get your try. But to pass the exam, you should know what you are doing and experience helps a lot (That way you know exactly what
answer is correct and you can even laugh about the wrong answers because you know reasons, why they cannot work. But you need experience because it can be tricky. So I saw questions where multiple answers looked correctly first but one was wrong because the
first element of an C# array was 0 and not 1 as given in the answer ... And that are typical things where experience simply help because you see such errors directly!)
With kind regards,
