Taining Kit

Hi

Is the following kit good enough to study for all the MCSD exams
MCAD/MCSD Self-Paced Training Kit: Microsoft® .NET Core Requirements, Exams
70-305/70-315, 70-306/70-316, 70-310/70-320, and 70-300

Regards

Hi,

The training kits, 70-305/70-315, 70-306/70-316, 70-
310/70-320 are sufficient and well written. I was able
to pass all 3 tests, easily, while only using the
training kits. However, the 70-300 test is another
matter.

Although the training kit, 70-300, does delve into each
subject area, at least superficially, you will have to
know ORM, UML, XML, COM+, DTS, how to create an ERD, each
of the areas covered in the other training kits (although
there are not a lot of detailed coding questions), and
you will need to have at least a couple of years
experience with distributed application development. Oh,
almost forgot, IIS, Security, determine which type of
application to build to provide the right solution, etc,
etc, etc. This exam covers a very broad area at a high
level and each question is based on a case study.

There are only about 30 questions, but each counts
heavily if you miss it. Alot of the questions are multi-
part, build a tree, build a list, and there are very few
that have only one answer. This increases the chances
for missing a question. You have to know each area pretty
thoroughly in order to pass the test.

If you do not know ORM, Terry Halpin's book, "Information
Modeling and Relational Databases" is excellent. It goes
into great detail about all aspects of ORM.

Also, "Writing Secure Code 2nd Edition" by Howard and
LeBlanc is very good on Security.


Good luck!
