    3. Windows Phone application developer
    4. SharePoint
    5. Business Application like Dynamics
    6. SQL Server Developer
    7. DBA

    After that in each area you will have choice to select your first exam.

  • If you want to start with SharePoint development, there are plenty of resources you can use. There is a video training for introduction to SharePoint developer platform, enterprise search development, advanced development etc check http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/aa905692

    Also there is a training developer kit available for SharePoint, and .NET

  • Hi,

    There are different level of certifications:

    1) Technology Associate

    2) Technology Specialist

    3) Professional

    4) Master

    As a newbie, you need to begin with option 1 or 2. I would recommend you to have at least 1 year of experience before jumping into Technology Specialist or above level certifications. For further details, I would suggest one of the blog post:

  • Hi Pavan,

    For you, to start with following exams link I have provided. You should clear following web application exam first

     

    MCTS: Microsoft .NET Framework 4, Web Applications

    Exam 70-515

     

    Once you done with above exam then you can got to SharePoint following exams

    As you might aware, SharePoint has 2010 and 2007 version, so you need to achieve any of one. I think first 2 paper from following is the best option for you.

     

    SharePoint and SharePoint Server

    Certification

    Exam number

    MCTS: Microsoft SharePoint 2010, Configuration

    Exam 70-667

    MCTS: Microsoft SharePoint 2010, Application Development

    Exam 70-573

    MCTS: Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, Configuration

    Exam 70-630

    MCTS: Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, Application Development

    Exam 70-542

     

    Once you will become MCTS in SharePoint then you should do following exam where one paper (exam 70-667) you have done by above MCTS exam already by that time.

    Microsoft SharePoint Server

     

    MCITP: SharePoint Administrator 2010

    Exam 70-667

    Exam 70-668

     

    Let me know if you need further information on this

    I hope this helps,

  • Hi Pavan

    First, should prepare for

    SharePoint Configuration

    You should install SharePoint on one of (VM or Real) windows server 2008, then start using it

     

    MCTS: Microsoft SharePoint 2010, Configuring

    Exam 70-667

     

    Training material for above exam:

     http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/exam.aspx?ID=70-667&locale=en-us#tab3

     

    And simultaneously also you should focus on Practice on SharePoint 2010, which will help you to pass this exam in first attempts

    (I think, you need 6 months of experience and training to become MCTS – SharePoint 2010 Configuring)

     

    Once you done with above

     

    You can start preparing

    Exam 70-573: TS: Microsoft SharePoint 2010, Application Development

    http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/exam.aspx?ID=70-573&locale=en-us#tab1

    Preparation material:

    http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/exam.aspx?ID=70-573&locale=en-us#tab3

     

     

    I think, to pass this exam you need to have .Net developer skills and experience of SharePoint
