Default I need to know which books are best for studying!


I was going to pick up the MS Press books but it looks as
though on Amazon.com it didn't get rave reviews. Can
someone recommend me books that I can learn the
material? Thanks!

as Robert indicates this somewhat depends on exam you want to take. I
like (on a genereal basis) the Sybex books.

Hmmm, lets analyze this.

Uh... this is an MCSE newsgroup, isn't it? Maybe, just maybe, he's studying
for the, oh, I don't know, THE MCSE!!! Duh!

Your sarcasm skills need some refining man.

THE MCSE? Implies that there is only one.
MSPress are good for some exams, Sybex better for others, etc.
Based on the level of detail in the OP's post, I would guess that the yellow
books would be most helpful.

not necessarily... we have had people come in here recently asking about
Word and Excel... though one would assume he is talking about MCSE, you know
what they say about assume...

True. But wouldn't that be in direct violation of the rule:

"Relevance to Topics: Please make sure that your postings in newsgroups and
chats are relevant to the subject at hand. It is normal for some topics to
drift from the stated subject. However, to ensure maximum benefit for
everyone, we encourage you to keep your postings as close to the subject as
possible."

Surely he wouldn't do *that*, would he?
