Rating: - This has got to be one of the worst study guides that I have bought...
I'm amazed that Microsoft let this book leave the press. I have never seen such a disconnect between what the book teaches and what is on the actual test. Not only that, but on the practice exams provided by the book, there are questions that are NEVER covered by the book, and questions where the book tells you one way, and the test tells you it's wrong and to do it another way. The book is riddled with inconsistencies, typos, and code errors. I have bought other Study Guides from Microsoft and ... Read More
Rating: - Better than first impressions
At first, while skimming through the pages I thought this was a much lower quality product than some of the O'Reilly books I had read.
But after reading and doing the exercises I realized that Microsoft is spot on.
They have a good approach to teaching which is going by: "Understanding rather than Knowing" and by giving you the opportunity to manually test everything yourself to integrate the concepts. I believe this is the only right way to teaching stuff.
Rating: - Good book, Helps put you on the right path.
I used this book as my primary study guide for the exam.
I passed 1st go with score of 875. So it definitely pointed me in the right direction.
The self-test software is really REALLY useful to test how ready you are.
Though you have to remember that this exam is intended for people with working experience, you can't expect to pass just by reading a book.
Rating: - The book helps you to be on the right track
Some previous reviews say the book is not sufficient. The question is. Do you really think you can buy a book, read it, practice it and make the highest web application certification exam ? It does not seem to be logical does not it ? The 70-547 exam contains also areas from "architect" point of view. So I want to say you have to have the basics already in your blood. The book is very good.
