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%...
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...
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: "......

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...
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...
Uh, not this Monday the 6th; we're not meeting. See you on the 13th? - Hoyt ... -- Cell: (603) 438-5419 Office: (857) 362-2906 Home: (978) 667-6404 Uh, not...
Hi, I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and has gotten over the shock of the return of the bright light and blue sky :) I just wanted to remind everyone...
Just wanted to let you all know I took my first stab at this test last week. I didn't pass, but I had only a week to prepare because I wanted to take advantage...
I took 70-561 the same day and for the same reason, and I happened to pass. It helps that I already knew most of the content before I started studying. I got...
If I read my "certification planner" correctly, it seems to be telling me that once I pass 70-562 (the ASP.NET exam the group will be studying for), and also...
Hi Jim, Unfortunately the certification planner is not always as clear as you would hope. The Enterprise application developer certification is probably the ...
Thanks. So It looks like I'll read the 70-549 book very carefully, and also compare the requirements for 549 and 565 to see if there are any differences. This...
Greetings all,
I have had something come up for tonight and will not be able to make the meeting. I had mentioned that I would be at the meeting to share my...
My wife's sister from Australia is leaving tomorrow, so I'll be with them tonight. - Hoyt ... -- Cell: (603) 438-5419 Office: (857) 362-2906 Home: (978)...
I mentioned this as an aside during last nights meeting: The CAP theorem says in a nutshell that in large distributed systems (Amazon, Google, etc) you can...
No, I haven't tried the test yet. (this is the one for WPF) The hardest part so far is that binding is very confusing, and I figured out why. The problem is...
Hello, I've been programming for some time now, but never bothered with certification before. I plan to jump into this group when the focus is on ASP.NET...
As for what books you buy, it's up to you. But you probably want to have a copy of the 70-562 book. None of the books are thrilling reading, but they are...
Hi Keith, There's absolutely no requirement with regard to sequence of taking tests. You need the 70-536 to get an MCTS, but you can take 70-562 test first....
Hi Keith,
I have a copy of the 70-536 book that I would be happy to get rid. I am bringing a few books that I no longer have a need for to the meeting...
I would also point out that there are tons of demonstration videos on www.asp.net, and also on www.windowsclient.net (for WPF, WinForms, Linq, etc) From:...
Here are some notes from the MS WCF text. It's an outline, but hopefully it's useful as a review. Best, - Abe Rosner Technologies Where Business meets...
I'm listening to an interesting podcast from dotnetrocks about what is going on with Windows Workflow Foundation. Basically, the new version coming out is a...
