.NET Framework 2.0

Now that the .NET 2.0 versions is out, I finally decided to give the microsoft certification for .NET. With the updated exams, now one has to give two exams to obtain a MCTS - Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist. One is about .NET Framework 2.0 Fundamentals(Exam 70-536) and the other can be from Web-based client development (Exam 70-528), Windows-Based Client Development (Exam 70-526) or Distributed Application Development(Exam 70-529). You can obtain MCTS in SQL Server 2005 and BizTalk Server 2006.
I am planning to go for MCTS in Web applications. I am starting with the framework fundamental exam. Since these exams are new, not many exam books have come out. I did find a couple of sites useful in preparing for the framework exam.
The blog site is by Bill Bozeman. He has given lots of posts about each topic that is covered in the 70-536 exam. It is not complete but very useful I also found that the posts are written nicely and are easy to understand.
Another site by Clarke Scott does have some posts. It has a work document with links to other sites or msdn articles for all the skills measured by this exam.
There are couple of books I am referring to but they are by no mean complete in terms of this exam.
I wish the 70-528 book for the web-based development comes out soon. I hear the Amit Kalani books are pretty good.

Thanks for the info. I probably should probably get my .NET cert also. I did the MCSD back in 2002 and took the VB6 and SQL 2000 tests. Guess I'm behind the times now.
