Featured Customer Reviews Not that good, do not use this book to learn VB.Net, April 05, 2007 Although this book is 'ok' compared to other 70-306 books it fails at teaching at a level that is good for either beginners or for experienced programmers. For starters it was written back in 2003. In my experience most VB.Net code written for Visual Studio 2003 in these books are less than great in Visual Studio 2005. If there was a CD that contained the code at least you could tell whether it compiles or not. Since they didn't, you will have to spend the time entering the code and debugging it yourself. There are a ton of programming books out there where you have to worry about a typo, poor directions or code, or a single mistake will cause the program to never to work without alot of effort debugging and this is one of them. If you get this book get it only for skim reading on the objectives for 70-306 and for some idea on what is on the test. If you wish to find good sample code(included on a CD) and learn VB.Net, find another book that was written at least in 2005. In any case you will need other books to know enough to pass 70-306 and or learn VB.Net. Of great help !, August 08, 2006 Yes, the exam covers all the chapters described in the book. So, take your time, do not rush into the end, pay extra careful attention to the details and, certainly, it will be of great help during the test taking. This book really prepares you to suceed in the exam and also to improve your actual programming techniques. Good luck! this product is awesome,but ull need extra help to get cert., April 16, 2006 this product is awesome,but ull need extra help to get cert. you can get more help in this link (getcert's POST) http://www.mcse.ms/message2132798.html thanks This book definitely helped me pass, September 15, 2005 It thought this book worked very well as both exam preparation and as a practical learning tool. I liked the way it walks you through a bunch of applications, then gets you to write something yourself to test your understanding. Also, reading the "Fast Facts" section the morning of the exam was a great memory-jogger. Cut and paste, July 13, 2005 This book has quite a few examples. It's obvious that the author cut-and-pasted them, and no one checked 'em. I'd say 85% of the exercises work. Many are flawed by obvious typos, missing, or superflous code, such as declaring variables twice in different scopes. Overall, not a bad book, but not a great one. Ironically the 70-310 book by the same author and editor is much better, though it's a bit weak on ADO.Net. You might also be interested in these items...
