Study Material

I have been programming in ASP and VB 6.0 for the last 3
years. I am now planning to upgrade my skills to
include .NET technologies (MCAD first and later MCSD).

I am not sure what study materials should I choose. Are
Microsoft Press Exam Kits good enough? If no, then can you
people out there help me decide which ones are good and
which ones are not?

Thanks in advance.
Bhavdeep.

 

Bhavdeep,

Check out the user reviews of the Microsoft kits on
Amazon, and compare them with the reviews of the Kalani
books. Never take them as gospel though, especially if the
number of reviews is very small.
If you already know the material and just want
to 'revise' for the exam, then I believe that both
publishers are fine. For what it's worth, Examcram2
appears to be rebuilding its reputation after a period of
less than impressive quality.
If there is a lot of new stuff to learn and you want a
useful study 'roadmap' plus very well worked out practice
exercises then in my opinion Kalani is more helpful than
the MS kits. You should also complement this with a lot of
background reading and experimenting.

Good luck,
Maria
