I like this book because it is easy to read and I believe it has enough information to pass the exam

Some previous reviews say the book is not sufficient. The question is. Do you really think you can buy a book, read it, practice it and make the highest web application certification exam ? It does not seem to be logical does not it ? The 70-547 exam contains also areas from "architect" point of view. So I want to say you have to have the basics already in your blood. The book is very good.
 Better than first impressions February 8, 2008

At first, while skimming through the pages I thought this was a much lower quality product than some of the O'Reilly books I had read.
But after reading and doing the exercises I realized that Microsoft is spot on.
They have a good approach to teaching which is going by: "Understanding rather than Knowing" and by giving you the opportunity to manually test everything yourself to integrate the concepts. I believe this is the only right way to teaching stuff.
Plus, it allows to do the certifications at a tenth of the price the courses would costs.
 This has got to be one of the worst study guides that I have bought... February 11, 2008

I'm amazed that Microsoft let this book leave the press. I have never seen such a disconnect between what the book teaches and what is on the actual test. Not only that, but on the practice exams provided by the book, there are questions that are NEVER covered by the book, and questions where the book tells you one way, and the test tells you it's wrong and to do it another way. The book is riddled with inconsistencies, typos, and code errors. I have bought other Study Guides from Microsoft and have been very happy with them. This one is not worth the money, and should be re-written. If you can find another study guide for the 70-547, then do so. Or at least wait until the second edition of this book comes out.

I wonder if any of the authors of this book have ever written a single meaningful application?! Very poor book, very poor recommendations.
