WF 3.5 Certification exams design session
Last week I’ve been participating on the design of the upcoming TS (Technology Specialist) certification exams for WF 3.5. (formerly known as "70-504: TS: .NET Framework 3.5 - Windows Workflow Foundation")
The sessions have been organized by the Microsoft Learning team and hosted by Howard Dierking, who did a great job on helping us to discuss about the most important aspects of WF to test.
He explained the refactoring of the exam stack and how having TS exams which are specific to a single technology and then PRO exams which are more scenario oriented can help software companies on measuring their applicants skills.
From left to right, the Subject Matter Experts that worked on that design sessions are: Ariel Schapiro, Serge Luca, Alfred Myers, Brian Myers (author of "Introduction to Windows Workflow Foundation" book) and Mark Dunn.
It was really interesting to see how many points of view around the same subject help enormously in the design of an exam; good work guys!
Two more southies (Matias Woloski and Johnny Halife) participated in the WCF design sessions that took place one week before WF’s.
