First of all really sorry for not being active on my blog for quite some time and you will find the reason behind the same was my schedule was hectic and I also decided its right time for me to attend Salesforce.com Certified Technical Architect - Multiple Choice exam.
I am glad that i cleared this exam today and thought of sharing some learning's here :)
Its been almost three years on platform and I was involved in wide variety of work ,mostly now on Integration's and Data Migration Salesforce Projects .So I thought its right time for me to start preparing for at least multiple choice exams as I had confidently submitted the Self Evaluation and I was informed I am good to go for Next Round .
Again Please don't mail and ask me for dumps as this is against my ethics .Having said that I would definitely provide some insights on what topics one must primarily concentrate while preparing for this Exam .
The Study guide can be obtained from the Certification Website .Now what topics one must concentrate to prepare for this exam.
This exam basically tests your experience on platform ,than anything else so nothing can beat the real experience here .If you have worked on Oauth 2.0,SOAP API's,REST API's,Custom Apex Services ,Network layer Security you should definitely be all good to handle this exam.
The Primary materials I would recommend are below
http://wiki.developerforce.com/page/Architect_Core_Resources
The above URL will almost give you all the materials and these materials are very good and I read all one by one .They have also arranged it topic wise
One of my favorite whitepaper is Integration Design Pattern.I downloaded from below URL
https://developer.salesforce.com/page/Integration_Patterns_and_Practices
The Important topics that i felt were as below
1)Integration Design Pattern(Lot of questions on this topic and you will need to be crystal clear on each approach with pros and cons)
2)Oauth 2.0 and various different types of oauth flows thats possible
https://developer.salesforce.com/page/Digging_Deeper_into_OAuth_2.0_on_Force.com

5)LDV(Large Data Volume Handling)

10)Mobile Application Development Apporach(Design Approach ,when to choose hybrid,Native or Salesforce 1)

Sharing-and-Visibility-Designer Dumps exam certificates are game-changers when it comes to IT jobs. They not only boost up your profile but speaks a lot when it comes to telling the employer about your skill level. That is why I wanted to apply for the exam. But the problem is that despite having all the basic knowledge it was becoming difficult to prepare for the exam. As time was very less and there were many things to cover. If you cover the right topics you can excel in the exam and for that, you need a complete strategy. Thus you need to go for smart studying. That is your target should cover maximum in the short time that you are given.
