I know, I know.  It's been a bit of time.  Not to say that I haven't been busy.  On the contrary, I'm finishing up a custom SharePoint course for SI (Solution or System Integrators, for you that don't speak MS) Microsoft Certified Partners for getting them rapidly certified on Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS).  I'm also adding some Enterprise Content Management (ECM) basics, as this is what most are asking for.  It's a bootcamp type of course extending the MOC (Microsoft Official Curriculum, sheesh; and you thought military or government acronyms were bad) ILT course 5061.  Of course, the assumption is that the attendees are already very strong in WSS 2.0, SPS 2003, and know the new features in WSS 3.0.

The current exams are geared toward the TS (again the translation is Technical Specialist) certification level on installing and configuring Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (WSS) and MOSS.

70-630: TS: Office SharePoint Server 2007, Configuring

70-631: TS: Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, Configuring

(And, no, I don't know why they have the WSS 3.0 exam number higher than the MOSS exam number.)

Funny, I found the MOSS exam easier.  Granted, I didn't really 'study' for the exams, as I did for the .NET 2.0 or SQL 2005 exams.  I'm assuming that this is because I seem to be in that space with clients most often.  The basics from WSS are there, just not concentrated, kind of like assumptions to get to the MOSS level.

Oh, and the developer exams are on their way.  Speaking of which, my next post will be on what I believe to be the major building block of all SharePoint applications and extensibility, SharePoint content types.

Until then, Rock On!!
