5.0 out of 5 stars I rate the book 5-star without the least hesitation., August 22, 2005
I just passed the exam 70-340, and this was the book I used in the last 2 weeks.

If you know how to program against .NET but don't know much about .NET security, this is really an excellent textbook and/or a reference book for you. It is written by one who knows the stuff and who knows how to explain tough stuff in plain English. It can certainly get you painlessly started on .NET security right away. I dealt with .NET security in the last 2 years the very hard way. I wish I had read such a book 2 years ago. (Well, on other hand, a book is just a book. It can't substitute real-world experience. Take myself for example, my knowledge on most topics other than CAS and WSE has probably already gone well beyond what the book covers, but I still don't think I do know .NET security very well. I'm no expert on security. So don't expect it will make you a security expert if you are not one yet, though a book like this one can make your road to being a security expert shorter and less painful)

As for passing the exam, I don't know for sure if the book alone is enough. I mean, you'll need intimate knowledge about Windows and how to program .NET before you can truly digest many topics covered in the book - remoting is a good example. The book is very easy to read and understand as long as you have the stated prerequisites (unlike in many other books, the prerequisites stated in this book are very accurate). If you understand the book, you should have little trouble passing the exam - anyway, the exam is designed for anyone who is knowledgeable on .NET security to pass. The book comes with 300 mock test questions - pretty hard to me, and I feel they are much harder than the exam questions I answered moments ago. I only had time to go over about 100 such questions. If you understand the book and also do very well with those questions, passing the exam should be guaranteed!

Despite a well-written book, it has some typos. Its definition of "collusion" contradicts what I learned of the word when studying monopoly as a graduate in economics. Due to the quality of the book, however, the typos can be safely ignored.

I rate the book 5-star without the least hesitation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book on a very heavy topic!, October 18, 2004
By Kuntal Choksi (Plantation, Florida United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you are programming any web/windows application in .NET, this book is a must read. From beginning to end it's an excellent read and a great resource for the newest exam in MCSD/MCAD track: 70-330 and 70-340.

Author's writing style makes you forget that you are reading pretty intensive topics.

I am coming back to this book again and again to find ways to make my code more secure. This is a must buy for anyone writing or planning to write a secure .NET application.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfull for getting your MCAD/MCSD, August 20, 2005
By Ashish Mahajan (Perth, Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is wonderfull. Particularly this Self-Paced Training Kit on "Implementing Security for Applications with Microsoft Visual Basic .NET and Microsoft Visual C# .NET" is simply fantastic. I haven't seen many people going for this exam, as everyone goes for sql server exam. I dont know what people think about other Self-Paced Training Kit titles. But my serious advice to all of you who want to give certification exam in "Implementing Security for Applications with Microsoft Visual Basic .NET and Microsoft Visual C# .NET" is go for this book. This book is really good.
