4.0 out of 5 stars Good way to pass the test, December 27, 2006
By Stephanie Giovannini (Saint Charles, MO United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a good book to use for preparing for the specific exam it covers. I read it for that purpose and passed the exam on the first try. The writing is clear and the examples and practices are relevant. The typos, errors and omissions are noticeable but tolerable (somewhat expected for the first printing of this type of book). I enjoyed the writing style and especially the first few chapters that covered conceptual topics. The later chapters are a little dry--I would guess that even the author was bored by the last chapter recounting the endless minutiae of deployment and monitoring.

If you're not planning on taking this exam--get a different book. There are no tips and tricks, no in-depth coverage of how to accomplish real-world tasks, no hand-holding for novices, and a whole lot of extra chapters covering what is likely miscellany to most developers. The book is exactly what it purports to be: a training kit for the purpose of passing this particular exam.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good reference but NOT good enough to pass the exam., March 21, 2007
I did pass the exam in the first attempt after one month of preparation.
This is a good reference book to start preparing for the exam.

But it is not good enough to pass the exam. You will need to do lot of
reading online. Take the practice tests provided on the CD. Go through /
read / understand the MSDN links provided on the CD under the learning
plan tab (which is displayed after you take the test).

After all these things what is most important is your experience in this
field and that if you can think the Microsoft Way?

Long story short - Can I just read this book and pass the exam - NO!

5.0 out of 5 stars I'd recommend it, May 21, 2007
By J. Wise (Westminster, CO USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'm only up to chapter 4, but I've already learned more about ASP.NET from this book than I ever did from MSDN tutorials. It's well-written, and has reasonably good code with plenty of room for improvement by a practical programmer who is looking to practice his design skills.

It's cheaper than taking a class (and goes into MUCH more detail than any programming class I've ever been in), more thorough than either MSDN tutorials or webcasts, and seems comprehensive enough... I suspect that a reasonably intelligent entry/mid-level person with .Net skills could read this, go through every example, and come out very well informed. Maybe not ready for senior-level work, but a better programmer for making the effort, whether they take the test or not.
