Good book but not enough March 1, 2006

I just passed my 70-310 test with a score of 820. I used this book to get the basic understanding of what was covered. If you want to pass the ONLY way to go is with the Test King Questions and Answers. Don't waste your money on anything else. You'll thank me for it later. :)
 Horrible explanations September 18, 2005
Hi,
I have passed the first two exams of the MCAD using microsoft training materail... I agree its not comprehensive, but at least it is short and to the point and most important is you understand what you are reading.
This book is full of examples without any explanation. For eg: 3 pages of code has only 4 lines of explantion.... I am trying to force myself to read this book, but by the end of 2nd chapter (around 150 pages) i am forced to shut it and write this review.
I think I am good at grasping things, I gave my first two exams in 2 weeks and scored around 930 on both of them ( 229 and 305 ).
This book just focuses on step by step and fails to explain what each step means. I have worked with xPath and xml nodes at work, and I think the examples in the book about XML is unnecessarily confusing.
I bought this book looking at the 4 stars, and can just hope that this book gets better in the comming chapters, cause I have my exam in a couple of weeks.
Regards,
Pranav
Passed the exam first time, now a MCAD August 2, 2005
This book was extremely well written and provided excellent coverage of every topic in the exam as well as some extra material. Mike Gunderloy's experience shows in his in-depth
understanding of the subject matter. I passed the exam with the help of Transcender and MeasureUp practice tests. Also, I bought the CareerAcademy.com Web Services training, but it was almost worthless(wasted 500 bucks). One hint though, this time around(unlike with the 70-306 and 70-305 tests) the real test is actually harder than the practice tests. It really tests your knowledge and forces you to dig deep. So, study hard and make sure you don't just read the book, but do the step by steps and guided practice exercises.
tons of exercises November 8, 2004
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book provides tons of "StepByStep" exercises to learn all about remoting,web services, etc. It's a great book for those that do not hae tons of experience in these areas. In the same token, it maybe too much coding for the experience developer who is looking to gain just the facts to pass the test. If someone is looking for that, then look at the MS Press book.
The one real complaint that I have is with the layout of the book. There is a lot of line wrapping which isn't really necessary, they could use the width of the page. But, this is the fault of the publisher, not the author.
Overall, another great book by Mike!
