Rating: - Mandatory book for Microsoft MCTS certification (and old Mainframe Developers)
As an outsourced Mainframe programmer (Job outsourced to India...Thanks Citibank!), this book is the 1st book on the road to a MCTS certification.

I found out it was better to take the hours needed to correct the text, than spilling time wondering about the accuracy on stuff that looked weird to me. My ... Read More
