Hmmm. Some topics in the MS books (at least the one on 70-316 exam) look
pretty trivial, whereas the exam itself is known to be rather rigorous. I'd
even say the aforementioned book covers only the very basics of Windows
Forms programming, while paying much attention to generic OOP concepts, C#
language essentials and working with the IDE.
Since I haven't tried to pass any of the exams yet, I may be too paranoid
about the exam complexity, but that only the basics are covered in the study
guide really worries me.

| Nick and Mahasen,
MS books are one way to study. If you like working
prolems they are more hands on, but many times they will
have bugs in the examples. This is because they are
rushed to press even before the software is released.
For exam 70-300 I would not recommend the MS press book.
Please read thread posted on January 16 "Study
suggestions for 70-300"

| Personally, MSDN has been the most helpful. I tried one exam without
consulting the MSDN much and blew it. After going back and covering MSDN, I
passed. Lesson learned. I passed my other tests using MSDN.
If you haven't already discovered www.codeclinic.com, get to know it. It's
hands down the best way to navigate the MSDN for study purposes.
Good Luck!

Most people would disagree with you.

| Exactly, they don't even make a good primer.

Specifically, those that studied with MSPress books and failed.
