Microsoft recently announced two Beta exams for SQL Server 2008 DBAs and developers. Interested candidates can register with their local Prometric centers (Outside US and Canada, you can register through the Prometric website) and take these exams for free, yes, FREE! Note that the results for these exams are not available immediately after you write the exam, you hvae to wait several weeks after the exams are publicly available (These exams will be publicly available later this year in November time frame). The two exams you may wish to attempt are –
This exam will be available later this year as 70-450. Passing the exam will count towards a credit for Microsoft Certified IT Professional: Database Administrator 2008 certification [Note that you need to pass Exam 70-432: TS: Microsoft SQL Server 2008, Implementation and Maintenance in order to obtain this certification]. The official study guide for this Beta exam is available here. To register for this exam, use the promotional code 239F4. Registration for this exam will be available from August 15 until 24 hours before the exam period ends on September 16.
This exam will be available later this year as 70-452. Passing the exam will count towards a credit for Microsoft Certified IT Professional: Business Intelligence Developer 2008 certification [Note that you need to pass Exam 70-448: Microsoft SQL Server 2008, Business Intelligence Development and Maintenance in order to obtain this certification]. The official study guide for this Beta exam is available here. To register for this exam, use the promotional code 3568C. Registration for this exam is currently open, and will be available up to 24 hours before the exam period ends on September 10.
There are no preparation guides or resources available at the moment for us to refer and prepare for the exams. The lack of resources actually adds to the excitement of doing the exam! Earlier this year, I passed the Beta version of Exam 70-504 : Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 : Windows Workflow Foundation Application Development. Other than the official study guide, there were no training resources available to prepare for the exams. I used the Visual Studio 2008 training kit, worked through the samples and hands-on labs, did a number of virtual labs, viewed a number of webcasts and read through several dozen blog posts! Once I felt I was ready to look at a book for more in-depth knowledge while I was developing couple of applications using WF for practice, I used Microsoft Windows Workflow Foundation Step By Step By Kenn Scribner and Pro WF: Windows Workflow in .NET 3.0 by Bruce Bukovics as references. The preparation strategy worked out well and I passed the Beta exam.
To prepare for the SQL Server 2008 Beta exams, it is perhaps beneficial to start with the available SQL Server 2005 books. A book like Pro SQL Server 2005 Database Design and Optimization by Louis Davidson et. al. lays the foundation well. Add a good reference book on the track you are willing to pursue after you have worked your way through one book. Follow this up with the SQL Server 2008 Virtual Labs, some demos and videos, SQL Server 2008 Books Online & the SQL Server Developer Center for downloads and other resources.
While trawling the web for some SQL Server 2008 resources, I found a few links that I would like to share –
