I'm passed MCTS: WSS App Dev I think ?

Way back in Feb I sat some beta exams and I have been eagerly awaiting the results hoping I at least passed the WSS one. Well looks like I did :).
A few days ago the status on the exam site was updated to passed, only glitch is I've yet to get an official email from Microsoft to confirm. Now just have to wait and see how I went on the other one !

I learnt a lot studying for these exams, also realised a few topics I needed to know more about while sitting the exams. One of them was programming against excel services. Luckily I'm now doing just that , spent today hooking up InfoPath forms to call referential data and calculations stored in a spreadsheet accessed through the excel services web service.

It's a quite nice solution where business users can edit data in excel spreadsheets and have it appear on the forms. This makes it a nice easy step to help get departments using online tools, without having to go to the expense and effort of custom developing pages or databases.
Particularly good for a first phase of a project, the data and calculations can then be moved to a full blown database later when/if needed.
Had to bend a few things to get it going, but once you know a few tricks it's not to hard to achieve.
