Reading Time: 4 minutes
Microsoft is the creator of many Information Technologies that are widely used in the world. Most of the organizations, businesses, companies, and individuals trust Microsoft products. Many professionals in the IT industry also validate their knowledge and skills by getting specialized Microsoft certifications. Microsoft credentials are designed to cover various technologies which are widely applied in the industry. The company offers IT certifications at three distinct levels:
- Fundamental
- Associate
- Expert
Microsoft certifications are awarded to IT professionals who have showcased their ultimate understanding of Microsoft technologies. The expert level is the highest tier which an individual can achieve in the Microsoft certification web program. Some of the topmost expert-level credentials include:
- Microsoft 365 Certified: Enterprise Administrator Expert
- MCSE: Data Management and Analytics
- MCSD: App Builder
- Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert
- Microsoft Certified: Azure DevOps Engineer Expert
There are other certifications which you can opt for under expert level, but you must know that most of them require relevant associate-level credentials. More importantly, you must pass at least one exam in order to attain any Microsoft certification. Let’s have a look at how we can attain the MCSD: App Builder credential.
Before we dive into the exams needed to earn the MCSD: App Builder certification, we need to know which requirements need to be fulfilled in the first place. So, to get MCSD certified, first you must earn one of the following MCSA credentials:
- MCSA: Web Applications
- MCSA: Universal Windows Platform
After that, you must choose one of the following exams:
- Developing Mobile Applications (70-357) – this exam is perfect for candidates who have experience in developing and designing Windows 10 apps. Experience in the creation of mobile apps using XAML and C# is required.
- Developing ASP.NET MVC Web Applications (70-486) – the ideal candidates for 70-486 exam are software engineers who apply Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 and ASP.NET frameworks to design and develop web solutions. The candidates ought to have practical experience of three years in creating solutions based on ASP.NET MVC.
- Developing Microsoft Azure and Web Services (70-487) – if you have three years of practical experience in developing web services, then this exam is for you. Microsoft also recommends you to possess experience in the creation of Web API and Azure solutions.
MCSD: App Builder is an ideal certification for professionals who want to upgrade their knowledge and skills in software development. Microsoft exams test the candidates’ knowledge of various app development concepts. I am MCSD certified, and I did 70-487 exam to sharpen my understanding of Microsoft Azure and Web Services.
Below are 70-487 exam concepts:
- Data access
- Manipulating and querying data using Entity Framework
- Consuming and creating Web services based on API
- Implementing and designing web services
- Deploying services and web applications
The preparation process was quite tough, but I managed it. These are the tips I used to ease my preparation for Microsoft 70-487 test.
- Create your workspace
This is the first step that you should take when you are preparing for a certification exam. Good preparation is done in an environment that is free from distractions such as noise. You should create your workspace away from any sources of noise such as TV and other electronic devices. Smartphones connected to Wi-Fi are especially dangerous, if you know what I mean. Such things make your preparation meaningless because you will not be able to concentrate on your preparation materials.
- Use the list of exam objectives as a guide
Every Microsoft exam has objectives which need to be achieved by all candidates who are intending to pass. You should use the exam objectives as your guide because they highlight the concepts you must know in order to complete the questions that are dedicated to a specific topic. Microsoft 70-487 exam objectives are also a perfect tool to set a certain limit because some topics are too broad to be fully covered.
- Enroll in training courses
The only way to sharpen your understanding of Microsoft Azure and web services is training. One of the best materials that will equip you with the ultimate knowledge is video courses from PrepAway. 70-487: Developing Microsoft Azure and Web Services exam is all about hands-on experience. Therefore, video training courses are perfect material because you will be able to watch every demonstration and repeat the necessary steps as many times as you want.
- Use lab sessions
The ideal way of understanding the main concepts is practicing them in a real-life environment. It is meaningless to follow instructor-led video courses without practical implementation. As a determined candidate, you are supposed to take your computer and start coding right away. Whenever you implement new concepts, you learn how to debug errors that arise during the development process.
- Take practice exams
The knowledge you have gained during preparation is enough to make you pass, but it is important to assess yourself before the main exam time arrives. It means that you have to download 70-487 practice exams from the PrepAway website and start taking them. You will realize that some of the questions need a deeper understanding. Some of the topics are tougher than the others, and you may have to improve your knowledge at some point. Practice exams will help you identify the topics that need more attention.
Job opportunities
- Mobile Developer
- Web Developer
- Software Developer
MCSD: App Builder certified professionals are able to earn an annual basic salary that ranges from $71,000 to $170,000.
In a nutshell
The opportunities always come to professionals who constantly sharpen their knowledge in their area of expertise. The most important thing you should consider as an IT professional is to get the relevant training that will enable you to pass your certification exam successfully. Microsoft 70-487 is the ideal test to validate your skills in mobile and web development. Get certified and become the next competent software developer!
