However Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) in .net 3.0 is in use now, I wondered if a replacement&amp;nbsp;exam on this is forthcoming. The answer seems to be &amp;quot;yes&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/howard_dierking/archive/2006/12/08/what-are-we-planning-for-net-3-0.aspx"&gt;This post&lt;/a&gt; i&lt;font size="2"&gt;ndicates that a WFC Qualification was in the works in late 2006, and &lt;a href="http://reddevnews.com/qandas/article.aspx?editorialsid=111)"&gt;this one&lt;/a&gt; in June 2007 m&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;entions &amp;quot;the upcoming Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) exam&amp;quot;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is on the basis that I want to pick up another Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) exam, and that upcoming work is probably going to involve some kind of SOA aspect,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://consultingblogs.emc.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=8335" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://consultingblogs.emc.com/anthonysteele/archive/tags/Microsoft/default.aspx">Microsoft</category><category domain="http://consultingblogs.emc.com/anthonysteele/archive/tags/technical/default.aspx">technical</category><category domain="http://consultingblogs.emc.com/anthonysteele/archive/tags/exam/default.aspx">exam</category><category domain="http://consultingblogs.emc.com/anthonysteele/archive/tags/wcf/default.aspx">wcf</category></item></channel></rss>
