Course Explanation One of the very latest and so called "New Generation Certifications" MCTS is in transition to replace the current MCP's certification using the very latest Microsoft .NET technologies.
In a nutshell MCTS certification courses have eight areas of concentration Technology Specialist: .NET Framework 2.0 Web Applications courses, Technology Specialist: .NET Framework 2.0 Windows Applications courses, Technology Specialist: .NET Framework 2.0 Distributed Applications courses, Technology Specialist: SQL Server 2005 courses, Technology Specialist: SQL Server 2005 Business Intelligence courses, Technology Specialist: BizTalk Server 2006 courses, Technology Specialist: Microsoft Office Live Communications Server 2005 courses Technology Specialist: Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 Applications courses where students can specialise in any of the areas they like. MCTS web application certification course prepare students to build web based applications using ASP.NET 2.0. With hands-on practical training students will be prepared for both the exams required to gain MCTS Distributed application certification.
