Very easy to understand May 11, 2010 J. L. Sanchez (Dominican Republic) I am very satisfy. This is the very first step to start SQL Server certification.
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Training Kit series March 31, 2010 L. Pertum 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
The "Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Training Kit" series was highly recommended to me by an Instructor. I agree with the Instructor's recommendation. The Microsoft Training Kit series includes sample exams that also give you the following info. after you've completed the exam: 1) detailed explanations (with additional references) for the correct answers, 2) an assessment of your total score and the areas to concentrate on to improve your score. --- My money was sell spent. --- Lynne
This book is one of the best SQL Server books August 12, 2009 Sabin Shrestha (Irving, TX) 1 out of 4 found this review helpful
If you are looking a technical book to learn SQL Server 2008 rather than to learn English, this is one of the best books with lots of real world examples.
Excellent book!! March 3, 2010 Nancy Burton (Illinois) 0 out of 5 found this review helpful
MCTS Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-432): Microsoft SQL Server 2008-Implementation and Maintenance: Microsoft SQL Server 2008--Implementation and Maintenance (PRO-Certification)
This book is better than they say!!! August 9, 2009 Tim Sutton 14 out of 16 found this review helpful
I must say I was concerned about this book given the other comments - the only value appeared to be in the CD with the practice exams (the other recommended book "The Real MCTS SQL Server 2008 Exam 70-432" does not include practice exams). So I went ahead and purchased both books - "The Real MCTS..." for studying and this book for the Practice Exams.
What I discovered is that "The Real MCTS..." does not go into enough depth in a number of areas. Reading through the book and doing the exercises left me inadequately prepared. Running through the practice exams showed that I still had quite a bit to learn in some of the new/enhanced technologies (certificates/encryption, mirroring, partitioning). I have started going back to Mike Hotek's book - and have found (to my surprise given the negative comments) the information, explanations & exercises a great sight better than in The Real MCTS book.
Do not let the other reviews put you off. Even with the mistakes this book is way more worthwhile than it is made out to be.
