Microsoft has announced changes to the MCM program. This page shows all the ways that you can become an MCM without having to spend a month at Microsoft.
I’m interested in this for two reasons. First, I’d love to have the opportunity to try to become an MCM. Making it easier to make the attempt, hopefully without dumbing down the curriculum, is a great idea. Second, scroll down to the books section. That’s right, my book is one of the suggested books for learning enough so that you can pass the MCM test. I’m gob-smacked and honored and jazzed and I’ll stop gushing now.

This will probably make you feel even better: the recommended reading list was compiled via recommendations by the existing MCM's and MCA's and it's honorary members (those who taught the program).
Mine is on the list too. :)

Congrats Grant - this is good news on both fronts.

Yep. I'm officially even more jazzed now. Thanks!

Congratulations on having your book on the list, Grant! I am planning on taking the beta version of the MCM knowledge exam (I have already scheduled it), so I will be reviewing the MCM pre-reading list, along with watching the new videos that were released last week.

Thanks. I should probably try it. I just hate these kinds of tests. Plus I'd feel like a total schmo if I tanked it. Best of luck to you.
