 70-536 Exam Prep December 21, 2006

Good book. Gives us a good overview of various topics covered in the exam. Has a few errors. But, we could figure it out. It comes with 300 exam practice questions, answers and links to MSDN. If you cover all the topics in the book, and go through the MSDN links provided in the CD, it will help us give a good shot at the exam. I used this book and transcender practice test. I passed the exam in my first attempt. The MCTS exam is tough. That makes it covetable.

The book is my first contact with another IT world. I mean the dot NET. It guides you through all the important parts of dot NET technology. I especially appreciate a lot of working examples and way of explanation. It leads you to self-motivated learning. I mean you become courious how all the described functionality in reality really works and if IT really works :-) Thanks to the book I have found out a lot of useful functionality. It is really a good book for certification exam too. When you read it for second time you realize how well the book is organised.
Great as a book not just a study guide November 22, 2006

Places where this book is "weak" is where YOU as a reader need to learn how to use MSDN and look it up yourself. The point of the book is to quickly run you through what is going to be covered on the test... NOT to give you a hand holding through the numerous topics covered in a short amount of pages. Yes theres chapters that could use elaboration for me personally... but this book's job is not to go indepth, that is the point of the MANY other books referred to by the microsoft learning site. Each test has requisite books and then a training kit book. If you didn't read the whole C# or VB language book before you read this, then you can't complain when it doesn't hold your hand.
edit: having now passed the 70-536 on my first try, even though i put this book down for several months and picked it back up again is a testament to how good it does it's job. So long as YOU, the reader, do all of the examples, lookup each object on msdn and thoroughly research them, and run through the practice tests and study tests multiple times.
I consider this book my .net programming bible... February 15, 2008

Comming from the 1.0 and 1.1 framework, this book really helped me get up to speed with 2.0. It covers many new capabilies and enhancements of the new framework (isolated storage, generics, etc...). This is my "MAIN" reference book now... its almost like my programming bible. :)

I've seen comments good and bad. I passed with room to spare using this book as my main guide. That's what its purpose is, and it does that well.
