So last year I updated my MCSD to the .net 2.0 certifications that included features such as generics etc. I left that update a little late in the day as I had not really had a need to update them and they felt like small extensions to the 1.1 certs I had already achieved.
Over the last year and half I have been workign with .NET 3.0 technolgies, 3.0 brings a raft of new technolgies to the developer. The 3 core technolgoy center pieces being WPF, WF and WCF.
As a result I have been eagerly awaiting the .net 3.0 exams in order to keep my certification up to date. It seems however microsoft have decided to skip by 3.0 certs and go straight to 3.5. Either way I'm happy and I will be boooking myself in in the not too distant future.
