I did
pass Hoyt, though the exam had been totally rewritten since the books were
published so the sample tests actually turned out to be of minimal use in this
case. Fortunately the new “simulations” in the test were very
straight forward and I actually did quite well on them. I think that is
why I was able to pass the exam.
I will
try to come early Monday and we can talk about it before the meeting if folks
want.

May we presume that you passed? :)
Looking forward to seeing you!

Hi
Mark,
I
actually agree with the statement about the MS Press being quiet good. I
agree they are not perfect but I have found them to be much better than the
rest if your focus is on passing the exam. So, of course, it all depends
on what your focus is.
I just
took the 70-431 exam and I am planning to come by on Monday and talk about my
experience with the book the group had talked about using, the three exams in
one book. I definitely have some thoughts on that book versus the MS
Press book as I had, and attempted to use, both books.
See
you on Monday. J

Hoyt,
Thanks for the link.
The book is too new to have any reliable reviews yet. I found the first
to reviews to be highly suspect given that they said:
"... I read the book for exam 70-528 first,
which is for ASP.NET 2.0. It is
nicely written"
".. books published by Microsoft press is
always fantastic."
From my experience both those statements are false;

Hi
Jim,
I
think I have 30% off coupons for the group, but I have to check if they too
have expired.
The
group has expressed a strong interest in doing ASP.NET 3.5 (70-562 cert), this time with minimal AJAX.
I’m
planning on August 10th to start the next cycle.
Best,

The vouchers Abe had expired yesterday, and I could
probably use another one in the next 2 or 3 weeks or so.
The training kit books I have come with a 15%
discount voucher, but I would hope I could do a bit better than that.
Apparently the Microsoft Second Shot program has
also expired.
One last question: when do we start the next topic?
