I've been a VCP since 3.5 - this was my ramp-up to vSphere 5.0. So, 90% was review (as expected). The info was solid and complete. More advanced options, such as automation and scripting/programming, was lightly touched - and pointed you in the right direction. A very solid VCP-level book, and will be kept on my bookshelf close by for reference for a long time.
Excellent Technical Guide, breaks everything down and does a good job of explaining in very easy chunks. I bought this to study for my VCP exam, it was recommended to me, and I have to say, it was worth every penny.
