Average Rating:
Rating: - Very useful book as usually
This time only short review. All has already been written. The book is suitable not only for exam but also for beginners. It is thoroughful guide how to develop windows based applications.

Rating: - The only thing helpful is the practice tests on the CD...

The book does have a section for each of the objectives Microsoft has defined for the exam. But is FULL of errors (typos and concepts too!!), lacking good examples, concepts are defined vaguely and there is A LOT left out.
I took the exam and passed but I don't feel it was because of the book. I had to do additional research on each topic because the book wasn't enough. ... Read More
