The best book ever written for c#

This book includes thousands of useful examples that I use in my real life. The book is easy to understand and really helpful. Compared with any other book it is the best for the 70-316 exam. It includes 15 chapters with 15 question each one (225 questions) and 75 extra questions. This is exactly the book that I was looking for. I passed the exam in the first chance with a score of 980/1000 !!. Obviously I used transcender and the MSDN, but 70 % of the studies were based on the book. Amit Kalani is an extremely good writer. Congratulations for the book !!.

Greaty book for learning and passing the exam

I bought this book 3 months before the exam. Studying 5-6 hours 2 days a week for aboout 10 weeks really helped me to pass the exam for the very first attempt.Presentation of StepByStep examples was very useful.Everything on the exam is thoroughly covered in the book.I passed the exam, using just this book.

Nearly perfect

With a strong ASP.NET background but weak Windows Forms background, I read this book, merely reading though the labs and not studying in any other way, and passed the test readily. If you are new to .NET, it's better to start with the appropriate chapters of "Programming .NET" by Prosise. But with the basics of .NET under your belt, Kalani's book is great. I would say 95% of what was on my test was well covered by this book.Kalani makes it all seem straightforward -- which is a nice change from some other authors who would have you believe that all this new stuff is tricky. His examples are really awesome: simple enough to follow quickly, yet teach the new point decisively. I do not think a seasoned programmer can learn this stuff in a faster or clearer way. The screen shots are nice and small, so that you aren't flipping through page after page of them.The "Apply Your Knowledge" sections at the end of each chapter are very good at stamping what you just read into your brain a little better, and to highlight some important facts that were understated or even left out of the chapter proper. (For this last reason, these sections are required reading.) The "Exam Questions" in these sections are easier than most real test questions, but that is good because their purpose is not to frustrate you but to help you lock in your knowledge. (However, I didn't even try the practice tests at the end of the book or on the CD's.)There are maybe 100 or 200 grammatical errors, almost always dropping a word such as "the" or "a". But this is not a big deal in a book of this size, and it does not cause the reader any grief. Even after the test, I'm glad I have this book because the excellent samples will be very handy for reference at work.Now the one and only area where the book is weak relative to the test is on security and authentication, the last chapter. Although it is clear and very well written (other authors can make this stuff seem like Greek) there are things missing -- such as a discussion of the GenericIdentity class -- which are covered by the exam.So I recommend getting this book (I do not think you will find a better book for passing the exam), but further augment your knowledge of security and authentication with the Microsoft documentation.

Excellent for learning VS.NET using C#

I just passed the 70-316 today by self-study using this book, ONLY this book and no other books or online exam. Before using this book, I used to try some sample code, just a very begginner level.It is a excellent book for those who know C# syntax and something about VS.NET. It help you to learn VS.Net step by step in very organized way. EXCELLENT!!!

Good for learning and exam

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. This is a great book for passing the 70-316 exam (I did with this as my only book.) and for learning C#, if you already have experience with a language like Java or C. At first I was not sure about the book because it looked weak on in-depth-ness of examples. However, I found that it took me about 180 hours of study time to get through this book and the examples were great.There are a few mistakes in this book (maybe four I can think of), but they are minor. As usual, Que Publishing and Mr. Kalani did a great job.I am definitely going to use the same series for the 70-315 and 70-320 exams.
