Recently I announced that I’m going to be working toward Microsoft Certification and writing my student notes about it here, so I thought I’d hop right in and save my stub page for our first exam, 70-536, also known as Microsoft .NET Framework — Application Development Foundation.
I’m using Tony Northrup’s Self-Paced Training Kit for now. What I’ll be doing here are samples and articles that don’t appear in Tony’s book, but obviously I owe a debt to this work.
The topics covered in this exam are:
- Developing applications that use system types and collections (15 percent)
- Implementing service processes, threading, and application domains in a .NET Framework application (11 percent)
- Embedding configuration, diagnostic, management, and installation features into a .NET Framework application (14 percent)
- Implementing serialization and input/output functionality in a .NET Framework application (18 percent)
- Improving the security of the .NET Framework applications by using the .NET Framework 2.0 security features (20 percent)
- Implementing interoperability, reflection, and mailing functionality in a .NET Framework application (11 percent)
- Implementing globalization, drawing, and text manipulation functionality in a .NET Framework application (11 percent)
We’ll be fleshing those sections out further as we go along here.
