Customer Reviews & Comments
I just took and passed the Windows version of this test. A big problem for me was that not everything on the test was very well documented online (IMHO) and the study materials weren't available yet. This book does seem to cover most of the objectives of what I know will be on the Web version of the test but you will also need to go through the online reference material, especially the walkthroughs and .Net framework BCL, to get more details and a good feel for the subject. This is usually the case with study materials. You can't expect any one book to be comprehensive (even if they say so)- you need to consult many sources and give yourself a few months to practice and get a feel for the material. The most you can hope for is an overview of what will be on the test. I've passed about 10 different Microsoft tests (I'm an MCSD) so my opinions about this should be considered even if you don't agree with them. The practice test on the CD has very good questions but doesn't tell you which ones you get right or wrong, which was a pain for me. One thing I like about this book is all the practice labs. I find it more useful to learn by doing than by reading. Much of the Windows test was just common sense so I think if you use this book, go to the online docs for more details and walkthroughs, then read each question very very carefully and use common sense you should be able to pass this test also. No this book is not for beginners (there are plenty of good books and online material for beginners). Why would a certification book be targeted at beginners? All in all, I'm glad I got this book and I do recommend it.
