Comprehensive and Effective

I used this book as my only C# book and passed the test on the first try. This book is comprehensive in coverage and exercises, and it took me several months to get through it, although a more dedicated study program could have reduced the time. This is a very hands-on book, with a lot of walk-through examples and exercises. After reading it while using C# professionally, and doing the review and exam questions until I could answer them correctly, the test was a breeze. I would recommend this book, as it did an excellent job of preparing me for the exam.

KALANI WORKS, MS DOESN'T!!!

DON'T BOTHER WITH MICROCRAP BOOKS!! I studied using the Microsoft Self-Paced Training Books and didn't come close to passing.

Bought this book based on reviews and studied from cover to cover. I PASSED!! This covers all subject matter and little intricacies of test material and test taking. There were small issues with the questions in the book.

Suggestion: Take tests at Microsoft site to determine areas you need to work on, concentrate on studying those areas, go retake the tests, brush up on other areas you are good at to increase knowledge. When you feel good enough, go take the test!!

I don't think the PrepLogic CD is worth anything. They have code errors in their content, applications are difficult to work with, and questions are trying to be too tricky ( not concentrating on content ).

Going to buy the other Kalani books to pass the other certs.

Good Book

Good Book

I bought the electronic (PDF) edition and found it very helpfull.

My Comments is more based on the PDF format.
#1
I liked the idea of downloading the book and having copies on more than 1 device so i can read wherever i am (at home / work / etc).

#2
I liked the idea of downloading the book instantly form Amazon so i did not have to pay delivery and customs - since i am in AFRICA stuff takes weeks to get here.

#3
I think there should be a web site where i can get hold of the contents of the CD if you buy the electronic edition. I would like to have the testing / prep exams as well. The price for the book and the PDF does not differ that mmuch..... (You pay for the information not the paper...) so i think its fair if i get the electronic test exams for the same price.

Great study aid

Studying this book diligently for several months (there's a ton of material to cover for this exam) in conjunction with a transcender practice exam allowed me to pass the exam fairly easily. I found the examples and labs useful and not too boring with a really nice summary at the end of key concepts. I'm a big fan of the "blue book" certification guides over the Microsoft Press ones. The preplogic practice test which comes on cd with the book isn't very good - spend the extra money and get a transcender practice exam instead.
