MOSS 70-542 Certication Complete!

Bobs recently passed 70-542: MOSS Application Development certification. I owe most of my success to Daniel Johnston who wrote the blog: My 70-542 Study Guide. It organized the topics on the test in a way which my brain was able comprehend. I initially started to read blindingly Professional SharePoint 2007 Development by John Holliday. Everything went in one ear and out the other. I finished the book and then started studying based on Johnston's guide and everything started to click. I studied everything right off the web referenced in the guide, and then went back to the book as a supplemental reference.

Bobs then went to Alameda's Prometric Test Center and completed the test. The first 15 questions very closely resembling what I studied. The next 30 questions, I went into "OH SHIT" mode where there was a lot of generic InfoPath questions where I guessed most of the answers (although they were very intuitively easy to answer). The last questions were a breeze, since I studied the Business Data Catalog (BDC), like it was the only thing on the test. I was very relieved after I realized I passed and I owe most of it to Johnston's guide. Not many guides out there, but I totally recommend his. Thanks Daniel!
