Easiest Microsoft Exam.

Is there a reason you want to get into web development? It's easily the most saturated development market with a much lower pay scale than other types of development as a result. It's not a bad way to start and it's how many programmers do start but I personally think going the certification route on it is a waste of time and money.

No reason to get the certification if you don't plan on going into that field, and that field is "meh" as far as development goes. I don't feel the cert would be worth much and definitely not worth the ~$5k price tag or whatever it is these days for a Microsoft cert.

Is the job paying for it? If so, make sure that they don't require you to stay a set time or else face a fee.

I've successfully taken the Microsoft 70-480 Javascript and HTML 5 exam.

I wouldn't say it's "hard" but the questions often try and trick you. If know you Javascript, HTML, and Ajax syntax then you should be able to eliminate the obviously incorrect answers.

There's a 70-480 Exam Ref book that you can easily find the PDF for if you Google it. I'd recommend reading through that before taking the exam. I woudln't be surprised if there are web development experts out there that would fail the exam because of how stupid and esoteric some of the questions are.

you can get the cost of the exam for just 150 bucks or so... Study yourself. I did 70-410 - 70-412 in about 3 months
THese are windows server exams so probably not your cup of tea but they are easy if you know your way around their server OS.
