The Delphi Certified Master Developer exam tests your advanced knowledge of Delphi programming concepts, software architecture choices, and the depth and breadth of Delphi XE’s software development capabilities.
Delphi Master Developers are "a cut above" the rest and are adept in more advanced aspects of Delphi programming. The Master Developer exam is 60 minutes with 60 advanced Delphi programming questions in 13 categories randomly pulled from a large pool of advanced certification questions, so no two exams are the same.
In the Master Developer exam you will be tested on fundamental and advanced Delphi language syntax, programming techniques, using the IDE, building projects and groups, component use and development, and your experience in architecting and building desktop, client/server, Internet and multi-tier applications. Passing this exam test will identify you as an elite member of the global Delphi community.
