5 out of 5 stars A good preparation for the exam   January 12, 2010
Michael J. Mcmahon Jr. (Reno, NV USA)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I found this book was another excellent exam preparation publication from Microsoft Press. This book provides not only more than enough material to pass the actual exam, but the 900+ pages make it a very suitable tool for self defense. ;-)

The number of topics covered are quite broad. Most notably, large portions of the book are dedicated to data sources (e.g. LINQ, XML, SQL, etc.) and their proper use. If you have already read up on ADO.NET, these chapters are a brief summary, but a satisfactory refresher. Web services are also covered reasonably well, mostly from a consuming-client perspective. The remainder of the book covers nearly all topics addressed in the exam objectives in adequate detail. I found that this book alone prepared me well for the test.

As far as error content, there were surprisingly few occurrences. The most notable issue I had was a typo indicating seconds instead of milliseconds. When reading the book, remember that most ASP.NET configuration settings are measured in seconds; AJAX and other client settings are measured in milliseconds.

Overall, I very much enjoyed the book. The accompanying practice tests were, as usual, a little different from the book content, but only slightly. The result of this difference is a little extra reading from the MSDN library, which improves your knowledge for the exam quite nicely. If you don't know why an answer is marked as correct, read-up on it.

I highly recommend this book for anybody who would like to pass the 70-562 exam.



5 out of 5 stars Great book with Good labs. Perfect Companion to CED Solution's MCPD Bootcamp course   February 22, 2010

I took a bootcamp class at CED Solutions a few weeks ago and we went through this entire book (doing most of the labs too). I found this book to contain everything I needed to pass the test. There is not a thorough tech bible for your day to day programming needs (just use google!), but you get what you need to pass the tests and get your certification.


5 out of 5 stars Solid Reference For Passing Exam   April 1, 2010
Daniel McKinnon (Tewksbury, MA USA)
The book 'MCTS Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-562): Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5-ASP.NET Application Development' is an excellent resource for helping get ready to pass the 70-562 test. Content is broken up over 1000+ pages into the following areas of study:

Server Controls
Input Validation
Site Navigation
State Management
Master Pages
Web Parts
Themes
AJAX
ADO.NET
XML
LINQ
Data-Bound controls
Services
Web Controls

and much, much more!!

Content is laid out in a logical format and the book is easy to follow and learn from. If you can get through all of this book and understand the concepts within, you will have a solid background to pass the necessary exam.

***** RECOMMENDED



5 out of 5 stars Amazing Book   February 24, 2010

I just finished using this book for a bootcamp that I took at CED Solutions in Atanta. I passed the 70-562 exam on the first try. This book covers everything from the very basics to more advanced topics in ASP.NET development and website administration. I would highly recommend using this book as you prepare to take the 70-562 exam. It is a very readable book (and the bootcamp definitely helped too :)). Good luck to everyone, as you prepare for your certification.
