MCAD .net 
Microsoft Certified Application Developer. net
Definition & Purpose

The driving force behind Microsoft .NET is a shift in focus from individual intranets, extranets, web sites, or devices toward new configurations of computers, devices, and services that all work in tandem to deliver broader, richer solutions. Microsoft .NET was created to eradicate the core problems, or technology roadblocks, of underlying software development and its use in today`s techno-world for end users, businesses, developers, and IT professionals alike.

The MCAD.Net credential was created in response to industry demand for a certification that allows developers to show they have the skills necessary to successfully implement functional specifications and build, deploy, and maintain Microsoft Windows® and Web applications. Achieving the MCAD.Net credential can be a step toward earning the MCSD.Net credential for advanced developers.

Microsoft.Net is a three module course set of Microsoft Software technologies for connecting your world of information, people, systems and devices. Covering XML, ASP.Net and Visual Basic.Net. It enables an unprecedented level of software integration through the use of XML Web services: small, discrete, building-block applications that connect to each other and as well as to other, larger applications via the Internet. XML Web services let applications share data, and more powerfully invoke capabilities from other applications without regard to how those applications were built, what operating system or platform they run on, and devices are used to access them.
