Excellent source for certification
I'm a MCAD professional now, and this book helped a lot to pass the exam.
Rating: 3 out of 5
Pretty Good for Microsoft
I've just passed the 70-306 exam and must say the this book helped me do it a lot more than either of the Microsoft Study guides that I used to pass other MS Cert Tests (70-300, 70-229) I've taken so far. Unlike the others, it seems to generally represent the exam content, at least to the extent that things that are emphasized in the book (at least to the best of my recollection) seemed to be emphasized in the exam.As others have said, you can't expect that absolutely everything you will need to know to pass the exam will be spelled out in the book. Also like others, I found MSDN to be a very comprehensive and thorough source on how to build applications in the .NET environment and what .NET is all about. So, use the book to point out the areas to work on, use MSDN to get the details, and practice writing apps. I can honestly say that that pretty much did it for me. The weakness of the book is that, seemingly like all the Microsoft Guides, there's really no information on the makeup of the exam itself and any specifics on how to prepare. The practice test that came with the book was barely worth the investment of time that it takes to go through it. It had lots of typos and a significant percentage of the questions made little or no sense or could not really be answered from the information given.

Better than 70-305 and 70-310
It's a good reference but not enough for passing! Although it's much better in term of content that the books for 305 and 310 exams. Again I think MSDN palys a great role (90%) if you really want to pass the exam. You need at lease 1 year experience with VS.NET,.NET and last but not least XML/XSL/Schema. Learn as much as you can regarding ADO.Net and Security in .NET.I passed the test and officially became MCAD. Good luck!
