(Exam Cram 70-315) by Ed Tittel
A Very Good Study Guide For Exam 70-315
This certification exam measures the ability to develop and implement
Windows-based applications with Web forms, ASP.NET, and the
Microsoft .NET Framework. This exam counts as a core credit toward the
new MCAD (Microsoft Certified Application Developer) certification as well
as a core credit toward the MCSD .NET certification. This book is not
intended to teach new material. Instead it assumes that you have a solid
foundation of knowledge but can use a refresher on important concepts as
well as a guide to exam topics and objectives. This book focuses exactly
on what you need to pass the exam - it features test-taking strategies,
time-saving study tips, and a special Cram Sheet that includes tips,

acronyms, and memory joggers not available anywhere else. The series is
supported online at several Web sites: examcram.com, informit.com, and
cramsession.com.
The accompanying CD features PrepLogic™ Practice Tests, Preview
Edition. This product includes one complete PrepLogic Practice Test with
approximately the same number of questions found on the actual vendor
exam. Each question contains full, detailed explanations of the correct and
incorrect answers. The engine offers two study modes, Practice Test and
Flash Review, full exam customization, and a detailed score report.
Personal Review: MCAD Developing and Implementing Web
Applications with Microsoft Visual C#(TM) .NET and Microsoft
Visual Studio(R) .NET Exam Cram 2 (Exam Cram 70-315) by Ed
Tittel
This certification study-resource from Author Amit Kalani, served as a
rather indispensable part of the revision portfolio for Exam 70-315 (Web-
based Application Development with C#.NET).
like the 70-320 Exam Cram book -(also by Amit Kalani), it is a very useful
& sound comprehensive reference for Exam 70-315.
It served greatly in gaining both an overview of all the elements that would
appear on the 315 exam,but also served well in my overall review and
revision endeavours for the 70-315 Exam.
using this resource got me to the place where i felt i had covered the core
objectives for the exam and was ready to move on to the next phase ie:
having a go at tackling past question scenarios.
Indeed , i was glad i bought it.
what i liked about this book :
- it is a comprehensive read at slightly over 400 pages -ie:[404pages],the 2
Testing chapters non factored)
- there are exam questions after every chapter, relating to that chapter
- Answers with explanations are provided with every question featured in
the book.
- The book comes with a CD which offers a .pdf, e-version of the book.
I purchased the book in question as a pair with the 70-315 Exam Training
guide counterpart -(equally written by the same authors: Amit Kalani + Priti
Kalani) from Que press ISBN: 0789728222.
the two books complement each other very well and provide a very fine
balance between the need to train & equip the reader with the strong

hands-on .NET web-application development skills he/she will require in
order to thrive as a C#.NET web developper; whilst at the same time fully
framing these necessary hands-on expertise , in the context & framework
of the exam the reader probably seeks to take at the end of
working/ploughing his/her way through the book.
Afterall...studying the material and arriving at a place where one is
confident of ones capacity to develop a really functional web application is
most desired, just as much as passing the exam & obtaining the
certification validates this acheivement & know-how.
In addition to this 70-315 Exam Cram book, those starting out with C# may
need a pure C# language reference book, in order to learn about how
things are done in the C# language ie: about OO programming ie :Classes
& Constructors,Abstraction & abstract data types, Structures, Casting,
Encapsulation & Delegation, Inheritance,Polymorphism, Namespaces,
Methods & flow control, Events & delegates, Enumerations,
Interfaces,Attributes et cetera.
these are the C# language basics and need reviewing in order to
understand the how & where of everything working,fitting & sitting together
in C#. otherwise, things can get rather confusing come Visual C#.NET
development time. (# see review for Exam Cram:70-320; ISBN:
0789728974)
Checking to verify that the .NET developper possesses this knowledge has
also become a requirement at Microsoft, especially with the new .NET
series of exams for Framework 2.0 ; while versions of what is essentially
the Framework 3.0 Beta is already being used & embraced by lots of
companies already.
the featured Exam 70-315 Exam Cram book and the 70-315 exam training
guide from Que go quite some way in equipping one with this C#
background knowledge, but one might still need a separate text or
reference for good measure.
After working through the 70-315 ExamCram resource and using the
Training guide i felt set for the next phase ie: going on to tackle past exam
questions.
using Transcender and Testking more than sufficed to ensure & assure
success at the exam;
Take & Ace the exam with ease: 150minutes & 43 questions.
The passing mark is 700 ie: 70%. i sat the exam on monday (10th October
2006); scored 91% ie: 910.
Good luck.

cheers :-)
