Last week I have passed the Microsoft Certification Exam 70-502 “Windows Presentation Foundation Application Development” successfully. After working about 2 year with WPF/Silverlight technology I decided to verify my knowledge with this exam.

Here my result:

I used the book “MCTS Self-Paced Training Kit“ as my main study guide.
My final preparation duration with this book was around one month.

Next step is to pass the Exam 70-536 “Microsoft .NET Framework Application Development”.
Let’s see. Maybe next month.

Manuel and I visit the US TechEd this year. We started a client project at Glaux Soft based on the Silverlight technology. The main reason to visit this conference is to get more information about Silverlight 2.

We stay in the Buena Vista Resort (no it hasn’t anything to do with Microsoft Vista…)

The Conference

It is my first time I saw Bill Gates live.

The Convention Center

The dimensions here are very big. Here are some pictures to illustrate it.
