Time to study for the third leg of the triathelon - the XML Web Services and Server Components exam, C#.Net version (70-320).
It has been two years since I took the last MCP exam, the web applications exam. I passed both the Windows and web MCP exams in 2003.
Previously I used the Microsoft MCAD/MCSD Self Training Kit books, Visual C#.Net Core Reference, and ADO.Net Core Reference books, and daily took practice tests from Measureup.com as my study regimen. Measureup helped me alot last time.
I have noticed that the Microsoft MCAD/MCSD Self Training Kit book for Exam 70-320 ( MS Self Training Kit book for 70-320 just isn't up to the same quality as the books for the other two tests, as the book reviews also show. I also bought the Amit Kalani book ( Amit Kalani 70-320 book, but it is not as impressive either.
This exam is much more content intensive than the other two previous exams. To make matters worse, I really don't use DotNet Remoting at work. I prefer Web Services or Windows Services.
My timeline is to prepare to take the exam the first week of December. Wish me luck.
