Yesterday I completed another Microsoft Certification path: Microsoft Certified Solution Developer (MCSD) in Web Applications. Since last year, I've been involved in a number of web and cloud-related projects both at work and in my spare time, which let me learn a lot of cool stuff about web development, distributed architectures, HTML5, Javascript, CSS3 and Windows Azure: after passing the 70-487 (Developing Windows Azure and Web Services) exam last August and the 70-480(Programming in HTML5 with JavaScript and CSS3) exam in December, I decided to complete the MCSD certification path and yesterday I passed the new 70-486 (Developing ASP.NET MVC 4 Web Applications) exam.
