MCSD Certification

Hello Forum, I am planning to start preparing to be MCSD. As you might know, in order to be MCSD , you have to pass 4 core exams and 1 elective exams. I have the option to start with any of the following exams:-

1. Exam 70–305: Developing and Implementing Web Applications with Microsoft Visual Basic .NET and Microsoft Visual Studio .NET

2.Exam 70–306: Developing and Implementing Windows-based Applications with Microsoft Visual Basic .NET and Microsoft Visual Studio .

Given that i am a beginner. I am really confused which exam i should study for (Web based application Or Windows Based application). Thanks in advancw

For me the deciding factor would be which technology I was doing more development in; as I develop mainly web applications, for me it would have to be Exam 70–305.
depends on which field you are more familiar with or you are more interested in. Hope you good luck anyway.
Eventhough Windows based application are used Web based one have more oppurtunities. So first it will be better to go with ASP.NET. Anyway on certification won't work for programming
