MCTS: .NET Framework 2.0 Web Applications
The Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist credential enables professionals to target specific technologies and distinguish themselves by demonstrating in-depth knowledge and expertise in their subject area technologies.
Developers holding the Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist: .NET Framework 2.0 Web Applications (MCTS: .NET Framework 2.0 Web Applications) certification have demonstrated breadth and depth of skills and knowledge of Web application technology and data access in Web applications.
Technology Specialists typically pursue careers as Web developers, Windows developers, or enterprise software developers. They may also be database developers or systems administrators who do not work daily with the .NET Framework 2.0 but who want to show their technology experience.
Microsoft Skills Assessments for Visual Studio 2005 and Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0 help developers to focus their exam preparation training and to find learning resources so that they can upgrade from Visual Studio .NET and ASP.NET 1.0 or ASP.NET 1.1.

How to Earn Your MCTS: .NET Framework 2.0 Web Applications
Candidates for this certification must pass two exams, one focusing on .NET Framework 2.0 foundational skills and one focusing on Web-based client development. The following table provides a complete list of exams and related training resources. For exam dates and specific areas of focus, see individual Exam Preparation Guides as the exams become available.
If you plan to upgrade from an MCAD or MCSD on .NET certification to a Microsoft Certified Professional Developer certification, you do not need to first obtain an MCTS certification. You will earn the applicable MCTS certifications when you pass the upgrade exam(s) for MCPD: Windows Applications Developer, MCPD: Web Applications Developer, or MCPD: Enterprise Applications Developer.
