Studying for the new job

I will be starting a new job in around a month and I wanted to get up-to-speed with the technologies that the new company want to be using. To start with I have had a look at a number of certifications:

• Technology Specialist: BizTalk Server 2006
• Technology Specialist: Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, Application Development
• Technology Specialist: Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, Configuration

These will be on top of the MCPD: Enterprise Applications Developer exams (all 5 of them) that I have already started studying for. Although this is a tall order, I will be buying these books as an added encouragement to myself to get off my lazy arse and read them:

For BizTalk I bought:

The reason for the WF book is that, with the impending release of BizTalk 2006 R2, support for WF and Windows Communication Foundation will be part of the application.

For Sharepoint 2007:

I know that this is not a MOSS book, but you need to start somewhere and there are no exams for MOSS yet, too new. Although I have asked to be put on the beta list for Sharepoint 2007, MOSS 2007 and .NET 3.0 exams…
