Reviews for MCTS Self Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-503): Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Windows Communication Foundation Book/DVD/CD Package (PRO-Certification)

1. Excellent book for MCTS preparation

   Rated 5 out of 5 stars, March 12th, 2010

   I bought this book for my MCTS preparation, this is an amazing book with loads of fundamentals and information that would require anybody to know in our day to day WCF framework development. I would recommend to all of those who are willing to go for MCTS.

2. Good Study Aid

   Rated 3 out of 5 stars, August 12th, 2009

   I bought this book as study guide to help in preparation for the corresponding MCTS exam (70-503). The book provides a good overview of most of the important aspects of the WCF framework and is for the most part very clear. The two chapters on security really let this book down however, they are very badly constructed and explain the concepts very poorly. Security is a very important topic which is sure to feature highly on the exam and it is for this reason I have only given 3 stars. For those targeting the MTCS certification this book provides a good guide on what to study although for a much better explanation of the various security options within WCF (and for anyone wishing to learn WCF without specifically wanting to attain the MCTS certification) I would highly recommend Michele Leroux Bustamante's book Learning WCF: A Hands-on Guide.
