How much programming is involved on the developer exam? I looked at the course objectives and it mentions something about programming. Would this be in a .net language? Was just looking at the certs and was curious.

I haven't done that course, but I have written the exam. I don't recall any of the .net languages showing up, though you do have to be familiar with creating CLR objects within SQL (CREATE ASSEMBLY, etc)

Thanks. I was just looking into these exams. Just wondered what level you needed to be at if the .net programming was needed.

Not much. My .net skills are almost non-existent and I didn't have much trouble with the exam.
Make sure you're familiar with creating assemblies in SQL (CREATE ASSEMBLY ....). Make sure you're familiar with creating types, functions and procedures in SQL that were written in CLR (CREATE ... AS EXTERNAL)
