Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Mixed feelings
I cannot explain the degree to which this book frustrated me, but after a bit of thought I've given it a rating of 3. That reflects the fact that I did pass the exam using this as my primary reference. But in my opinion it is a pity that as far as I know it is the only book specifically geared towards the exam, because I just couldn't get enthused about it.

Ok, to be fair to the authors there are certain givens when studying for an exam. I never did expect a book that prepares for ... Read More


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Don't Bother - Go for the Second Edition

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Decent Book
This book has a lot of useful information in it and the practice tests do help quite a bit. Good book for beginner developers with some experience with visual studio.

If you are an old mainframe programmer (like myself), you need to take a Visual Basic.Net or a C# course before you study this book. My warning is that there are a lot of "common ... Read More


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Book alone is not enough to pass exam. Several misleading information
The book has several information, several errors too. The errors can be corrected by going to the Microsoft web site (press). The book skims through several topics required for the exam. But, the exam focuses on in-depth information. You will find questions in the exam that is not directly provided in this book. For example, the attribute [ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None)] used for specifying how the .Net class should be exposed to COM objects is not mentioned anywhere in the book, but it was asked ...
