I rented this book from Amazon.com. I read every page once through and then I went back through and took notes. Essentially I read through the book twice.
I took the certification exam last week using only this book as my resource and passed. For that, I gave the book 3 stars.
But, I came across questions I was clueless on more than once during the test. Especially with regards to the security namespace. I feel "lucky" I passed. I will not be using anything by the Microsoft Official Academic Course publisher again.
Why no practice exams? WTF!?! It seems like those should be standard by now with every certification help book.
