微软认证专业程式开发人员

right
微软认证专业程式开发人员（MCPD）是微软为程式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只考程式开发的技能不同，也因为MCTS已测验过程式开发的能力，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）。
2012年微软重新启用MCSD称号，所以MCPD会慢慢随着相关考试停考而走入历史。
