I have decided to start studying for Exam 70-536. In my opinion one of the best ways to study for the exam iis to read MSDN and try out the code samples, so I have taken the Skills Being Measured Guide from Microsoft Learning and added the links to the MSDN documentation. This is mainly to help me study for the exam but it will probably help out someone else studying for the exam so I decided to post the links here.
If you have trouble reading the links, choose a new theme from the Pick a theme drop down at the bottom of the page. The theme essence works well.
