Exam preparation 70-486 covering all the exam topics

Description

This is my own preparation guide for MCSD – Exam 70-487 – Developing Windows Azure and Web Services. I have compiled materials and guides from other people such as Chris Myers and Tobias Nilsson (their websites are on bottom of this document)and also googled the content of the exam and organized it by the topics of the exam that are in Microsoft learning website.

I’m sharing this document because it can be useful for someone else.

Any Tips or Feedbacks are welcome.

If you haven’t taken the MCSD – Exam 70-486: Developing ASP.NET MVC 4 Web Applications exam yet, check out My 70-486 Guide .
