This certification exam measures your ability to develop and implement middle-tier components, server components, and XML Web services by using Visual Studio .NET and the Microsoft .NET Framework. This exam counts as a core credit toward the new MCAD (Microsoft Certified Application Developer) certification as well as a core credit toward the new MCSD .NET track. This book is not intended to teach new material. Instead it assumes that you have a solid foundation of knowledge but can use a refresher on important concepts as well as a guide to exam topics and objectives. This book focuses exactly on what you need to pass the exam - it features test-taking strategies, time-saving study tips, and a special Cram Sheet that includes tips, acronyms, and memory joggers not available anywhere else. The series is supported online at several Web sites: examcram.com, informit.com, and cramsession.com.

The accompanying CD features PrepLogic™ Practice Tests, Preview Edition. This product includes one complete PrepLogic Practice Test with approximately the same number of questions found on the actual vendor exam. Each question contains full, detailed explanations of the correct and incorrect answers. The engine offers two study modes, Practice Test and Flash Review, full exam customization, and a detailed score report.

Solid Foundation, Needed More - 2004-04-15

I passed 70-310 by using this book and the Transcender practice tests. For me, the Transcender tests filled in some gaps in the material that this book didn't touch on or didn't touch on in great detail.

I like the Exam Cram series because I find them easy to read. Most of the chapters are short (10 - 20 pages), easily digestible pieces, which I prefer. I also appreciated the programming examples in this book, since they allowed me to get some practice creating projects and writing code. I could use the Visual Studio .NET help system to look at the class members and answer any curious-type questions I had. If you learn better by working on hand-on examples, you'll appreciate them too.

If you are new to Visual Basic and object oriented programming, do not buy this one right away. Learn more about VB.NET first and then buy this book to pass the test. If you are a seasoned programmer with VB experience, get it along with practice tests. I can recommend Transcender, but then again, those are the only kind I have used.

Good luck on the exam!

I will suggest this book to everyone who want to pass and study for the exam quickly. I have been reading this book and I found that this book is really easy to read and has a good depth. It is a "to the points" type of book, and doesn't give me too much unnecessary information like normally other book does.

Worth the price regardless... - 2004-06-17

I used this book and Gunderloy's 70-310 book. This book alone will not help you pass the test, but it is worth the price for 2 whole practice tests and over a 100 chapter-end questions.

Excellent Hand On Experience for VB.NET (STEP-BY-STEP). - 2003-10-16

This book is a good learning practice to vb.net/.NET. I have read other book, but too much introduction.

I follow through all the example in this book and type it up myself.

I really recommended this book to user with experience in programming and want to go straight into coding.

Author Well Done.!

I'm currently studying for 70-310 exam and will comments on it when I have finish the exam.
