Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
The Barnes & Noble Review
If you build Windows client apps, Microsoft's MCPD: Windows Developer certification is designed specifically for you. The most common certification path involves three exams. Microsoft's new Training Kit prepares you for all three. It combines three in-depth study guides, plus an immense collection of practice questions, and loads of VB and C# sample code.

Start by prepping for Microsoft's "base" MCTS: .NET Framework 2.0 Windows Applications certification. First, there's Exam 70-536, on the foundations of .NET 2.0 development. (This kit's content will help you with web development, too.) Next, Exam 70-526: the essentials of working with Windows Forms and providing data access using Visual Studio 2005. (Don't have VS05? Worry not: You'll get a 90-day trial version.)

With MCTS nailed, this package will get you 100 percent ready for one last exam: 70-548. This is serious rich client content, from evaluating feasibility through testing, deployment, and support, with some sophisticated UI and component development along the way. Bill Camarda, from the September 2007 Read Only
