Hi, How did you you determine the elearning courses relevant to this exam?
Sorry, this page is a bit of a work in progress at the moment. I have been using the first link, which lists all the skill that the exam is testing as a guide for what to study. I know the first 2 eLearning courses are relevant (and at the moment they are free too!) - I have not looked at the third one yet.
Cool. I'm having real difficulty finding anything on the many design topics for this one, especially unit testing. Any advice would be appreciated.
I had the same issue, there is not really much out there on unit testing databases. I did the Beta exam yesterday so I cannot say too much as it is covered under an NDA. What I would suggest is to get familiar with the basic concepts of unit testing as they apply to languages like java, C# or VB.NET. I have used the TestDriven.net framework with VB.NET and I don't think I had too much trouble (I have to wait a while before I know if I passed or not.)
Hi Darren Did you pass 441? I just missed out!
