Riddled with errors 30 Mar 2007

By Mr. Paul Croft

Format:Hardcover

The text did manage to get me through the exam, but I'd definately recommend taking some time to play around with the technologies it mentions or you're going to flounder a little over some of the exam questions.

One point of not is that this book, and the App Development Foundation (70-536), are riddled with errors in formatting, grammar and in some instances spelling. If you are fresh to the subject you can't pass the exam with this book alone but people with some experience should be able to muddle through after a couple of reads of the book and some time playing with the technology.

Won't get you through the exam by itself. 19 Feb 2007

By R. Crichton

Format:Hardcover

This book, while covering much of the exam, will not guarantee a pass. It is not all bad however. With the practice exam questions and the included discount voucher you'll get some good value.

Good grief 19 Dec 2007

By Scooby Doo

Format:Hardcover

The amount of errors in this book is shocking- at least Microsoft have a list of errata on their web site. It's going to take literally hours to fix all the errors in my copy. Did nobody proof read this?
