Great book to prepare for the exam

Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 1999

To prepare for the exam, this is realy the best book. I have some experience with other exam-preparation books but these books of Syngress or realy the best. It's to the point and the questions go into the same level of detail like the exam does. I'm not saying it's the best book for learning to develop Distributed Applications, but it surely is the best to prepare for the exam. I passed the exam thanks to this book.

Don't buy this, unless it is on sale! (by Brian Russell)

Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2001

I have never written an online review yet, but let me tell you, this book caused such anger in me I had to write one. People that liked this book...well, I don't know what is wrong with them. Maybe they are talking about the Desktop exam book. I used the Desktop book a little to prepare for that exam, and didn't find it to be too bad. This one though, my oh my, why did this get published? Sure it goes over stuff, over and over and over again....and really not telling you anything you didn't learn for the desktop exam.
Oh, they touch on everything, but thats it. I can't see how anyone can honestly say they go in-depth on subjects in this book. The only thing they go in-depth on is installing different apps, and if you need that, well, you don't need to be taking these exams.
I feel like the authors don't really know what they are talking about and they just threw together a book to make some money.
Don't get this book, get something else. Try the MCSD in a Nutshell book, it goes into things a little more, and in half as many pages.

A fairly average book

Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2002

The book is a failry reasonable resource and helped me prepare for the 70-175 MCSD exam. However, it is full of errors that could affect your understanding of the subject matter.
Also, it was put together by several contributing authors some of whom are apparently not familiar with correct English language structure. This sometimes makes their material difficult to follow and I was fortunate that I already knew most of the stuff that they were talking about.

Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2016

completely irrelevant now...but once upon a time this book really helped me get ready for my certification test.

Run Away, and Don't Look Back

Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2000

If you want to get bogged down with information that will never show up on the exam, then this pretentiously thick book (aren't exam preps supposed to be condensed? ) is for you. Example? There are a lot of ADO questions on the exam, but this book spends most of its data discussion dealing with legacy systems, VSAM, ISAM, DB2... and they have the gall to quiz you on this material in the end-of-chapter exams. Distracting, error-prone, and too much paper. Just don't.

Review

Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 1999

I read this book and passed my 70-175 exam. However, I did not depend on the book alone - I also made use of the Mastering Series CD covering enterprise developement. It also helped that I also have studied for and passed the 70-176 exam. There are numerous typos and errata to weed out though especially in the practice questions. Too much focus is given to the IDEs and program setup of the backoffice components. Perhaps that is required to get the MS seal of approval, but that kind of stuff is not covered in either of the exams I took. ADO is covered more thoroughly in the 70-176 exam preps but is also required on 70-175. Package-and-Deployment is not covered sufficiently either. The coverage of SNA and MSMQ was extraneous. Take 70-176 first or you will be taken off guard by the user services requirements of the exams because this book is not any help there.
