MCSD vs. MCPD accreditation

Dec 27 2007 3:28 PM

Hello all!

I am looking now to get a Microsoft certification working with/based around C#. I was previously certfieid in C++ but obviously accreditations for this have since been retired.

From looking at Microsoft's site it appears that the MCSD is still aimed at .NET 1.1 developers and that they have introduced the MCPD for .NET 2.0 developers. I am a little confused as surely the MCSD is now fast becoming redundant with the advent of .NET 3.0? Why don't Microsoft just update the MCSD every time with the latest .NET framework additions rather than introduce even more acreditations with every version of the framework?

Many thanks!
