MCAD - MICROSOFT CERTIFIED APPLICATION DEVELOPER

The Microsoft Certified Application Developer (MCAD) credential provides industry recognition for professional developers who build powerful applications using Microsoft Visual Studio .NET and Web services on the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0 and Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1.

MCAD Job Titles:

Application developer

As a developer, you have a choice of earning two different credentials to highlight your Microsoft .NET knowledge and expertise: Microsoft Certified Application Developer (MCAD) and Microsoft Certified Solution Developer (MCSD). Discover which certification best suits your skills and career goals. Choose the MCAD credential if you:

Develop, test, deploy, and maintain department-level applications, components, Web or desktop clients, or database and network services using Microsoft tools and technologies.
Have one to two years of experience building, deploying, and maintaining applications.

The MCAD credential was created in response to industry demand for a certification that allows developers to show they have the skills necessary to successfully implement functional specifications and build, deploy, and maintain Microsoft Windows and Web applications. Achieving the MCAD credential can be a step toward earning the MCSD credential for advanced developers.
