Customer Reviews & Comments
I read this book for the purpose of Exam 70-310 and I was reasonably satisfied with it. I've passed and am an MCAD for .NET now. It has it's share of errors and confusing portions, but they do not outweigh the general usefulness of this book. The book covers all objectives for the exam, although skimps on details. I learnt more from the labs at the end of the chapters than from the text. The depth of material will perhaps suffice for the exam but will fall short if you try to develop real world applications using this material. This book will not serve as a reference for you after the exam. It starts off with an overview of .NET Framework, which isn't quite deep but gives a good introduction. The discussion of Windows Services comes next and is quite complete. The book then talks about Serviced Components and .NET Remoting Objects. Both of these sections are not that clear and require supplemental reading. ADO.NET is discussed well, but the discussion about manipulating XML data is again weak. The book ends with 3 chapters on XML Web services which are well written. The practice test accompanying the book is nothing like the real test, so if you like to take practice tests, you should look elsewhere. All in all, with all it's peculiarities, I found that it works for the purposes of the exam.
