MSDN articles for 70-300

Hi,

A number of posts have recommended MSDN as a good source
for 70-300 study.
Can anyone recommend any specific articles in MSDN for
this exam?

Thanks

Sam

The MS exam guide for 70-300 is good. It's completely about MSF which is
really not tested directly on the exam, but does come into play indirectly.
Either way, it's good reading. Most of this material is also available on
the MSF site: www.microsoft.com/msf.

Most of what's on the exam comes from experience in gathering requirements
and analyzing what solution is right for the client. Only a high-level of
..NET technologies is needed. As one poster noted in a different post, most
of the answers are right in the case studies themselves; you just need to
read carefully to see what they are. Nothing different than listening to
what your clients' needs are really.

BTW, the Transcender practice exam will give you a good idea of what to
expect.

HTH,

Absolutely true, expect although the customer normally knows exactly
what they want, they expect you to be able to read their minds.
Meaning important facts which they take for granted, facts they
believe you 'should already know about', get left out or ignored.
Later on during some FTR, someone comes out with the old saying 'Oh
but I assumed you knew that' and 25,000 dollars disappears down the
drain.

very true...

Mind reading would be an important skill...<g>.

Ummm....

I wonder how much the government has 'invested' into making that a
reality? I somehow doubt any research conducted would have software
requirements analysis in mind!
