Summary: Not good certification books
Comment: I bought the 3 pack of books. I knew each book inside and out, could ace their practice exams. These are NOT good certification books. Most of the questions on the exam are not covered in these books. Maybe it is deliberate that Microsoft wants experience to be how you know the answers because you certainly will be ill prepared if you rely on the contents of these Microsoft Press books to test how prepared you are. I did pass 528 and 536 and I'd say maybe 5 or 6 questions between the two books were related to the reading material and the rest were just things I already knew. The 528 book was probably the best of the 3 with 537 being pretty weak and 547 being horribly inadequate.

Summary: Great books,,, Poor shipping
Comment: These books are great ! with the books themselves, i don't think I would say much about them, coz other reviews already cover most of my opinion.
but i have to say the SHIPPING and handling from Amazon this time is very POOR! when I received these books, one of the book (70-547) was throughly Wet, moldy and Bended. tried to contact Amazon, but no reply....

Summary: All you need to pass the MCPD Web Developer
Comment: I am an experienced developer, and used this set to pass the MCPD Web. It should be all anyone really needs.
Everyone is different, by my recommendation is to use the books only for reference. Take the tests on the disk. Then for the questions you get wrong or find yourself guessing - look up the topic. Study for your weaknesses, otherwise anyone with experience working with this stuff is going to be rehashing everything they already know.
I read people complain about how the books don't cover everything, and am at a loss to know what they could be talking about. If you know everything contained in the books or even possess about 85% of that knowledge, then there really is no way you can fail the tests.

Summary: Recommended for Anyone trying to become a "Better" programmer
Comment: Hey, you may not be going to go take the tests, but at the least find some time (if you can) and read these books.
I am currently trying to find time to get through these books. While I know a fairly good amount of concepts, I want to be polished and complete to make my job much easier and increase my free time at home because of that. That leads to why you would want to read these books.
These books explain things in a very straight forward manor. They at least in my opinion, side-step any jibberish and tell you the basic "why" for a lot of things. I feel that the author did a pretty decent job covering the subject in each book.
Also, if you notice that most programming books typically use a smaller font, or just so much information or so much bold or what not, that your mind is just trying to process the formatting of one page. What I like about this book is Space. There is larger text and space. Makes you really focus in and read carefully page by page.
Anyway, definitely decent books in my opinion here.
