The Technology Specialist certifications enable professionals to target specific technologies and distinguish themselves by demonstrating in-depth knowledge of and expertise in the technologies with which they work.
Developers holding the Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist: .NET Framework 2.0 Distributed Applications (MCTS: .NET Framework 2.0 Distributed Applications) certification have demonstrated breadth and depth of skills and knowledge of XML Web Services, .NET Remoting, Enterprise Services, and MSMQ technology.
Technology Specialists are typically pursuing careers as a Web developer, Windows developer, or enterprise applications developer. They may also be individuals such as database developers and systems administrators who do not work with the .NET Framework 2.0 on a daily basis but who wish to show their breadth of technology experience.
