Book Description

August 30, 2003

This certification exam measures the ability to develop and implement Windows-based applications with Web forms, ASP.NET, and the Microsoft .NET Framework. This exam counts as a core credit toward the new MCAD (Microsoft Certified Application Developer) certification as well as a core credit toward the MCSD .NET certification. This book is not intended to teach new material. Instead it assumes that you have a solid foundation of knowledge but can use a refresher on important concepts as well as a guide to exam topics and objectives. This book focuses exactly on what you need to pass the exam - it features test-taking strategies, time-saving study tips, and a special Cram Sheet that includes tips, acronyms, and memory joggers not available anywhere else. The series is supported online at several Web sites: examcram.com, informit.com, and cramsession.com.

The accompanying CD features PrepLogic™ Practice Tests, Preview Edition. This product includes one complete PrepLogic Practice Test with approximately the same number of questions found on the actual vendor exam. Each question contains full, detailed explanations of the correct and incorrect answers. The engine offers two study modes, Practice Test and Flash Review, full exam customization, and a detailed score report.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous way to prepare!, December 31, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: MCAD Developing and Implementing Web Applications with Microsoft Visual C#(TM) .NET and Microsoft Visual Studio(R) .NET Exam Cram 2 (Exam Cram 70-315) (Paperback)
This book cuts to the chase regarding what you need to know to pass exam 070-315. With a single page, Amit Kalani teaches the same key development skills that require about 6 pages of reading in the counterpart Microsoft Press Book. It's nice to have the MS Press books and VS.NET online help as references to answer questions that arise as you study, but you'll save valuable time with this book! I passed all three MCAD exams on the first try. By the time I got to the third exam, I realized that I only needed to study with this book to prepare and I scored a whopping 90%!

NOTE: If you are planning to take the MCAD exams, please realize that nothing can replace real-world experience with VS.NET. Before using this book to cram for the exam, get a solid understanding of C# and ADO.NET. I recommend "Inside C#, Second Edition" by Archer & Andrew Whitechapel and "Microsoft ADO.NET (Core Reference)" by Sceppa.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding and Concise, October 21, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: MCAD Developing and Implementing Web Applications with Microsoft Visual C#(TM) .NET and Microsoft Visual Studio(R) .NET Exam Cram 2 (Exam Cram 70-315) (Paperback)
This book must be among the best technical books ever.

The book is a recap of the big blue Training Guide for the same Exam and by the same publisher and Author--which is also outstanding. However, this book is a later release so the items in the errata have been included in this book.

The differences:

The training guide has 95% of the material in this book (often with the same paragraphs, diagrams, samples, questions, etc. so don't buy both books like I did) plus additional practical examples, questions, and answers. For someone with less than a few years of experience with web development and less than 1 year with C# and ASP.NET, I suggest buying the training guide instead of this book. But for the more experienced and busy, this book might be just right. The sample code often only have relavent segments of a program which make the book a lot more compact. If you read sample code on other books, sometime you wonder if these people are trying to impress the readers too much with their 100 line program with only 10 lines of relavent information. Even MSDN is like that very often.

There's a few typo's I've found in this book, but that's it. No completely off the wall and difficult to spot errors I've found so far--I'm sure an errata section will be available soon for this book. I'm presuming the reason why his books are better is because the author runs his own Microsoft Certified Training Center.

I'd pick Kalani's books over Microsoft Press books any day. Books are cheap compared to other preparation material. So even if you already have a training guide for this exam or even if you already past the exams, I think his books will make great addition as a future reference and/or for supplimental exam preparation tool.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Exam Prep, March 26, 2004

This review is from: MCAD Developing and Implementing Web Applications with Microsoft Visual C#(TM) .NET and Microsoft Visual Studio(R) .NET Exam Cram 2 (Exam Cram 70-315) (Paperback)
Like all the other Exam Crams in the C# series, this book is exceptional. If you had to pick one resource only to prepare this would be it. In fact, I think you could pass the exam simply by reading this book, answering the questions at the end of each chapter, and taking the two practice exams at the end of the book.

If you are preparing for 315, you would be making a big mistake by not getting this book.
