Recently I got certified by Microsoft as Solutions Developer for the Windows Universal Platform by taking two exams that are currently in beta. Because the exams are in beta there is not much guidance to be found online. I noticed during the exams I was being tested on skills not mentioned on the Microsoft Learning web site. In this post I’ll cover these differences and how I prepared for the exams so it’ll be easier for you to get certified.

I am currently at the Project Conference 2007 in Seattle and by visiting the sessions and talking to the people at Microsoft developing the solution I got a lot of answers for things I could not find on the web or in the SDK.
