not very good
I am aiming for MCAD, this is the last exam that i will have, the book is not very good in explaning windows form and controls, it is too brief, I have to read lots of examples in the internet. The other things are OK..but not very good still..You need a lots of supplement reading, actually, i buy the 70-320 book with the same author, the book only covers 60% of the exam, I think this boo, too
Rating: 5 out of 5
The author deserves great praise
I'm not an industry insider and have no involvement in the making of this book, my aim was to understand the contents of the curriculum for the 70-306 exam and obviously to pass (which I did, first time)
This is a great book, it's exceptionally well structured, it's full of thorough and well thought-out exercises. Every single step is detailed (nothing is omitted) and you will learn much, not least, how to use Visual Studio properly.This book has very good review questions and a sample exam at the back which are really useful in getting you to think in a '.Net way' do not skip these they are important. If you wish to understand .Net windows forms programming to a sufficient degree to pass the 70-306 you will not regret investing the time in reading this book. One reviewer reviewed the wrong book (he/she reviewed the one on Asp.net) another said that this was very poor and disappointing, an opinion which in my view is unsustainable particularly since he gives no fair explanation of why he was driven to give a damning verdict.
I emailed the author a couple of times about some things and he was very quick and generous in his replies. There are errors but there is an errata and any programmer who is aiming to become a .Net MCSD will be able to figure out why something isn't compiling.
I can safely and happily recommend this book to anyone who is serious. I supplemented reading it with the Transcender exam simulations and I found them extremely helpful too.
