3.0 out of 5 stars Not enough to pass 11 Aug 2011
By mudskipper
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this book for two reasons:

1) to learn about the technology
2) to pass the exam.

The book is successful in giving an overview of the different technologies, but seems to scratch the surface. Many of the topics (jquery, MVC etc) would justify a book in their own right.

Having studied the book and done the end of chapter practice questions, I turned to the practice tests on the CD. It quickly became apparent that there were a lot of questions which the detail in the book did not cover.

I spent a lot of time going through all 200 question on the CD, making sure I understood why the answers were correct and the underlying principles.

Then I sat the exam. I would estimate that a good half of the questions could not be answered by just studying the book and CD.

I failed the exam, and don't feel that any amount of studying this material alone would enable me to pass. A lot of 'reading around' is required, and this isn't clear from the book.

Having said that, the book is a useful overview as a starting point of the areas that you need to study. It's just not the whole picture.

2.0 out of 5 stars Enough Rope to Hang Yourself 23 Jan 2012
By R. Brown
Format:Paperback
This is the official study guide for an official Microsoft certification and although I've not yet sat the exam I already know that I'm going to have to read a good bit more material than is covered in the book. Just how much is anyone's guess though - until I've paid Microsoft to sit the exam I won't really know myself!

For a book that's roughly 900 pages long, the number of errors is staggering. The publisher's own website lists around 150 confirmed errata at the time of writing with a further 60 or so unconfirmed. Once I realised how many there were I set myself a challenge to find one more, it didn't take long and within a few days I had joined the large number of people who have submitted errata to the publisher. See [...] for the full list, then compare this with other books and you'll see just how bad it really is.

If I were cynical I might even suggest this is all on purpose...Microsoft sell you the book, have clearly not proof-read it for errors and don't cover all the materials to enable you to pass the Microsoft exam meaning you have to pay to resit and probably pay to get more books from them!

2.0 out of 5 stars Microsoft Should be Ashamed of This 19 Mar 2012
By James Wiseman
Format:Paperback
First and foremost, this book contains around 200 confirmed errata (see [...]). This amounts to around 1 error for every 4 pages of text. This on its own is unforgivable and Microsoft Should be utterly ashamed.

On the content side, its ok. Personally, I would regard each section as introduction to the topic that requeis much deeper reading (for example, you're never going to expect 48 pages to adequately cover MVC)

And, on the subject of MVC, its MVC2, not MVC3. Given that at the time of writing MVC4 is in Beta, this can be deemed as somewhat out of date already.
