Product/Book Reviews

VB-Cert/Web 7.0 I took the 70-315 exam at Tech Ed 2004, which was held just two months ago in San Diego, California. I hadn't been planning to take it for several more weeks. However, I was encouraged to take it earlier on the basis of two key facts: Exams at Tech Ed were 50% off. I had just passed the second exam in the pack of three preset sample exams provided by Transcender in their VB-Cert/Web product. The keen-eyed among you may have already caught a key twist in my preparation for this exam. I used the Visual Basic .NET version of the product to prepare for this exam. Howe... (more)
