I found this book to be an excellent resource in preparation for 70-305. Before reading this book I had done some reading on .net, and some light coding. I would say I knew enough to be dangerous, but not enough to accomplish anything productive.
That being said, this book covered exactly what I needed to get jump started in the language, and pass the test on my first try the next week.
I was very happy with the speed that this book covered the concepts needed for the test. Although the book covers a very broad range of topics, I felt like the concepts were presented in a way that let me put it all together.
Starting with language basic concepts, and data, the book then branches into windows forms, and then web forms. Security, optimization, and deployment are also covered in a good amount of detail.
I would highly suggest this for the beginning to intermediate vb.net developer looking to prepare for either of these tests.

Great book! Concise, logical flow and division of material, good exercises, good and lots of real-world test questions: Preliminary book and chapter test questions, end of chapter questions, a total of 4 separate sets of questions available in the testing software on the CD. (More questions overall than Transcender provides and I like Transcender). Having taken the test, I am really happy with the number and variety of the real-world test questions as that is what is primarily on the test. And of course this provides the background info for me to make better decisions within my apps.

I’m going for my mcdba and I found this book to help me pass the 306 exam. All i can say is – WOW! I do have quite a few other .net books but this one leaves NOTHING out! The authors present the material in plain english and the questions at the beginning and end of each chapter really show what I need to focus on. There’s plenty of pictures so I’m not left wondering what I should be clicking on and the web sites they reference are actually very useful! The authors even put in tips to avoid a sql injection attack and they have the best explanation of the web.config file I’ve ever seen! Get this book!!!!
