微软认证专业程序开发人员

微软认证专业程序开发人员(MCPD)是微软为程序开发人员所设计的中级认证,其等级与MCITP相同,是以特定的任务(job)为测验的标的,与MCTS只考程序开发的技能不同,也因为MCTS已测验过程序开发的能力,因此MCPD的考试是着重于设计与发展应用程式的整体架构与组成的能力,设计决策(Design Decision)是 MCPD的考试主轴,因此如果没有相当经验的考生,想通过MCPD的测验是相当困难,也因此,MCPD自2005年底推行以来,考过MCPD:Enterprise Application Developer(与过去MCSD同级)的人数也只有MCSD人数的1/5左右(6,567人)[1]

2012年微软重新激活MCSD称号,所以MCPD会慢慢随着相关考试停考而走入历史。
