Product Description

Product Description

Great resources, excellent value. Get in-depth training and practice with the skills measured by the core exams for MCAD or MCSD certification—all in one box. Covering Exams 70-300, 70-305/70-315, 70-306/70-316, and 70-310/70-320, these four official Microsoft study guides encompass both language specialties—Microsoft Visual Basic® .NET and Microsoft Visual C#™ .NET—for both the MCAD and MCSD exam tracks. Work at your own pace through each book’s lessons and hands-on exercises and apply your new expertise to an evaluation version of Microsoft Visual Studio® .NET Professional software, included free with this set. You can assess your progress and sharpen your test-taking skills using the enhanced practice exams on CD. As you gain practical experience defining solution architecture, building Microsoft Windows® applications, and developing XML Web services and applications for Microsoft .NET, you’re also preparing for MCAD and MCSD certification.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disapointed!, 3 July 2005
This review is from: MCAD/MCSD Self-Paced Training Kit: Microsoft® .NET Core Requirements, Exams 70-305/70-315, 70-306/70-316, 70-310/70-320, and 70-300: Microsoft ... 70-310/70-320, and 70-300 (Pro-Certification) (Paperback)
I bought this Kit for the MCSD exams but I was disapointed with the content. I was expecting far more information and better presentation, especially from a book that is recommended by Microsoft. It will by no means be enough for you to pass the exams so I'd recommend instead of spending around £100 to get this Kit, buy a few good quality books on each subject. It might come a bit more expensive, but you stand more chances of passing this way.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for certification, 1 Aug 2004
This review is from: MCAD/MCSD Self-Paced Training Kit: Microsoft® .NET Core Requirements, Exams 70-305/70-315, 70-306/70-316, 70-310/70-320, and 70-300: Microsoft ... 70-310/70-320, and 70-300 (Pro-Certification) (Paperback)
I have used these books plus some practice exams to pass certification. For this end they are perfectly sufficient. It is true that they are not as in-depth as the free documentation but the documentation is difficult to navigate around. The layout in these books is excellent for speed-reading/skimming/revising the night before an exam. These books will never be far from my desktop if only to fend off trivial questions from colleagues. I don't plan to buy any other .NET books now but to rely upon Google and MSDN.

4.0 out of 5 stars 4 books with a time limited copy of Visual Studio 2003 and the code from the books., 5 Nov 2007
By 
This review is from: MCAD/MCSD Self-Paced Training Kit: Microsoft® .NET Core Requirements, Exams 70-305/70-315, 70-306/70-316, 70-310/70-320, and 70-300: Microsoft ... 70-310/70-320, and 70-300 (Pro-Certification) (Paperback)
Very good set that must be supplemented with practice questions.

My set has 2 second edition books that I cannot fault (they were Web Forms and Windows Forms). The other 2 books (XML Web Services and Project Analysis) were first editions.

In the first edition books I found the C# code samples to have missing declarations and missing "using" statements. There were other typos too. In many cases I had to look at the VB code to locate missing lines. I'm guessing that the C# code was ported from the VB code.

If you are doing the VB exams, take my rating to be 5 stars.

I have passed all the exams here but recommend that, like me, you find as many practice questions as you can.
