I have recently asked to be put forward to do the MOSS developers certification. When I went to the Microsoft site it hadn’t previously crossed my mind that the study materials would cost (and cost so much) money to use. So, below I have taken the list of exam contents from the official exam site and added links to relevant training material for most sections \ subsections. I created this list to help myself while studying, but thought I would share it with everybody else because that’s the kind of nice guy I am 
I hope somebody else finds this useful!
