Study Guides for MCSD 70-480 Programming HTML5/JS/CSS3

By Shahed C on February 23, 2013

I recently took and passed the Microsoft exam MCSD 70-480 “Programming in HTML5 with JavaScript and CSS3”.

html5_css_javascript

 

However, this exam is relatively new as of early 2013, and the official book wasn’t out yet when I first published this blog post. It is now available for purchase, as of Spring 2013.

To prepare for the exam, you may refer to the following online resources:

For the 70-480 exam, I followed the syllabus on their main site:

(click Skills Measured)

To expand upon each line item, I followed the links on this forum:

(see top posts by Robert Kaucher, follow each link)

Here’s a similar study guide:

      Hi Asma,

      You should consider both certifications as they cover different aspects of web/software development. This exam on HTML/CSS/JavaScript can be useful for any job that requires web development, regardless of the back-end technology.

      The exam you mentioned (C#) can be useful for developing Windows applications, Web applications and even video games.

      Best of luck!
