Book Reviews of MCTS SQL Server 2005 Implementation & Maintenance Study Guide (Exam 70-431)
Book Review: Good for patient newbies
Summary: 3 Stars
I have had it for a month and got thru only half of this book. Good for newbies with lot of detail oriented material. However there's lot of rubbish that one could skip. But its good with a soft copy of the book included in the CD to listen thru using reading software! One suggestion to author is to avoid repeating details and explaining useless scenarios in too much detail.
