MCTS: .NET Framework 2.0 Web Applications

Developers holding the Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist: .NET Framework 2.0 Web Applications (MCTS: .NET Framework 2.0 Web Applications) certification have demonstrated breadth and depth of skills and knowledge of Web application technology and data access in Web applications.

Technology Specialists typically pursue careers as Web developers, Windows developers, or enterprise software developers. They may also be database developers or systems administrators who do not work daily with the .NET Framework 2.0 but who want to show their technology experience.

Candidates for this certification must pass two exams, one focusing on .NET Framework 2.0 foundational skills and one focusing on Web-based client development.

Exam 70–536: TS: Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 - Application Development Foundation
Exam 70–528: TS: Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 - Web-Based Client Development

If you plan to upgrade from an MCAD or MCSD on .NET certification to a Microsoft Certified Professional Developer certification, you do not need to first obtain an MCTS certification. You will earn the applicable MCTS certifications when you pass the upgrade exam(s) for MCPD: Windows Applications Developer, MCPD: Web Applications Developer, or MCPD: Enterprise Applications Developer.
