Great study aid.......2007-09-03
Studying this book diligently for several months (there's a ton of material to cover for this exam) in conjunction with a transcender practice exam allowed me to pass the exam fairly easily. I found the examples and labs useful and not too boring with a really nice summary at the end of key concepts. I'm a big fan of the "blue book" certification guides over the Microsoft Press ones. The preplogic practice test which comes on cd with the book isn't very good - spend the extra money and get a transcender practice exam instead.
Good Book.......2006-05-02
Good Book
I bought the electronic (PDF) edition and found it very helpfull.
My Comments is more based on the PDF format.
#1
I liked the idea of downloading the book and having copies on more than 1 device so i can read wherever i am (at home / work / etc).
#2
I liked the idea of downloading the book instantly form Amazon so i did not have to pay delivery and customs - since i am in AFRICA stuff takes weeks to get here.
#3
I think there should be a web site where i can get hold of the contents of the CD if you buy the electronic edition. I would like to have the testing / prep exams as well. The price for the book and the PDF does not differ that mmuch..... (You pay for the information not the paper...) so i think its fair if i get the electronic test exams for the same price.
Overall bad book.......2006-02-09
This book desrevd two stars becaiuse it is specially organized for exam, compared to all other books, therefore trying to cover every topic.
But (but!!!!!!), this book explains so terribly, and you will get so confused, that you will even forget what you knew before.
I bought this book to save my time on preparation. But, the author usually gives very very short explanation about the particular class, and just gives very wordy 2 pages long example: the remaining part to be self-understood. I read one page of the book 5 minutes, and spend remaining 2 hours in MSDN, to find out how the code the author gave works. That is really exhausting!!!! Somebody could wonder, that there are no perfect books, and why am I so angry. The reason is, I think this book and other related books by the author were written in hurry, not concerning about how end users would understand it.
KALANI WORKS, MS DOESN'T!!!.......2005-09-19
DON'T BOTHER WITH MICROCRAP BOOKS!! I studied using the Microsoft Self-Paced Training Books and didn't come close to passing.
Bought this book based on reviews and studied from cover to cover. I PASSED!! This covers all subject matter and little intricacies of test material and test taking. There were small issues with the questions in the book.
Suggestion: Take tests at Microsoft site to determine areas you need to work on, concentrate on studying those areas, go retake the tests, brush up on other areas you are good at to increase knowledge. When you feel good enough, go take the test!!
I don't think the PrepLogic CD is worth anything. They have code errors in their content, applications are difficult to work with, and questions are trying to be too tricky ( not concentrating on content ).
Going to buy the other Kalani books to pass the other certs.
Comprehensive and Effective.......2005-06-05
I used this book as my only C# book and passed the test on the first try. This book is comprehensive in coverage and exercises, and it took me several months to get through it, although a more dedicated study program could have reduced the time. This is a very hands-on book, with a lot of walk-through examples and exercises. After reading it while using C# professionally, and doing the review and exam questions until I could answer them correctly, the test was a breeze. I would recommend this book, as it did an excellent job of preparing me for the exam.

This book will make you pass the exam!.......2007-06-08
This series is for sure the most popular training guide for Microsoft's MCAD/MCSD certification exams. Even after the release of a new generation of certification exams there are still folks (like me) who are still taking the 2003 exam for their own reasons. Let's see the most important pros and cons for this book:
Pros:
* Text: the text is well written and easy to understand. Very simple and clear vocabulary. It is not a boring reading.
* Guided Practices, Review Questionsand Exam Questions: there're plenty of exercises on every chapter, including 15 exam-like questions and some other review questions. I like books with exercises. It's a good way for the reader to measure what they've learned.
* PrepLogic software: gives a good idea of the kind of software you'll have to deal with on the real exam.
Cons:
* Code examples: as in most programming books code example tend to leverage for the beginner, sometimes lacking in code design.
All in all, this book is a sure shot if you're going to take the 70-315 exam as well as a good reading for ASP.NET newbies so don't hesitate to buy it.
Exam tips:
* be confident
* know your strengths and weaknesses
* don't rush the exam! there's plenty of time! in my exam there were 43 questions and 150 minutes for me to answer them!
Good luck in your exam!
Not terribly impressed.......2007-06-01
I'm sure Amit Kalani knows his stuff but there are several issues that I have with this book which make me wish I had bought another one.
Firstly, and this is the most annoying fact, it is hopelessly out of date. I am using Visual Studio 2005 and it is painfully obvious to me that the book was written for an earlier version, which means that following the instructions given is sometimes impossible. This means I miss out on valuable experience that I could have gained through those step by step code examples where the procedures in the book clash with the current reality.
Secondly, there are a number of small niggling typos present throughout which undermine my confidence in the authority of the book as a whole.
Added to this is my suspicion (though I am not sure, given I'm not the expert) that some code examples given contain small mistakes or inconcistencies. Again, this is just a suspicion, as of this moment I have not actually tried to implement those examples where I have noticed such possible errors. Overall though, given the previously outlined gripe I have, my suspicion is very strong.
So you can see, I am not very happy about this book. The fact it is out of date is the major contributing factor to this. I wish I'd checked the publication date before spending my money.
Bottom line is I passed the test........2007-04-22
I used just this book to pass the test with a score of 900. My only disppointment with the book is the exam that comes on the CD. The quality of the questions are not very good; although, I think it is only there to entice you to buy the full set of test that they market on the publisher's website. Other than, though, the book does a great job of covering all the relevant topics on the exam and I found the large amount of exercises extremely useful at driving home the material.
Great guide to learn concepts behind 30-715.......2007-01-09
I studied this book for 3 weeks intensely. I took the 70-315 after taking some transcender exams. I got a 622, failing. I think I was not prepared enough. I took the practice at the end of the book before taking the exam and got a 62%!
I recommend this book to anyone studying for the 70-315. I also suggest exams such as transcender, measure up to get an idea of what the exams are likel
I'd recommend something else........2007-01-02
Where Kalani explains a topic thoroughly, this book is helpful. But he has been badly let down by his editor. Notwithstanding the high praise of others, I found this book and its companion for Windows (70-316) very poor, and I would advise against it.
There are a number of problems. For a start, the index is so superficial as to be almost worthless. Time and again, I tried to look something up in the index, only to discover that even major topics were not listed! This is inexcusable in a text book. How are you supposed to reference the bits that you've forgotten or need to cover again? You can't just flip through it -- it's over a thousand pages long!
In addition, the book is littered with errors! Time and time again in his examples, Kalani forgets to tell the reader to insert a vital piece of code that refers to a principle he hasn't covered yet. The reader cannot be expected to know this, and when he tries to run the example, it doesn't work and he is left in the dark.
Similarly, Kalani frequently omits vital steps in examples. Following Kalani's instructions, the reader finds he is presented with something quite different from what the book says will happen. Unless the reader can figure out the next step for himself (in which case, why is he reading a text book?), he cannot proceed with the example.
At best, situations like this are infuriating, especially when Kalani then uses the non-workable example in further examples, which of course themselves will not work.
Indeed, such errors are so common, it's hard to believe that the editor even bothered testing Kalani's examples.
Kalani's explanations are also frequently superficial. Again and again, his examples direct the reader to do something that hasn't yet been covered, but Kalani makes no attempt attempt to explain that step's significance and relevance to the code. Presented with a line of incomprehensible code, the reader can only guess and speculate, which inevitably leads to confusion, and makes an already complex subject even more difficult -- hardly the purpose of a text book!
Perhaps people who already have a fairly sound knowledge of Visual Studio and C# will find this book and its companions helpful. But the books' errors, and the poverty of their indexes, are so serious that I would strongly caution anyone who isn't already confident.

a good introduction .......2006-06-27
Excerpt from C# Online.NET Review (wiki.CSharp-Online.NET):
"The author is quite well known in parts of the Microsoft realms. He is many times an author, a trainer, a speaker, and a developer. He is a good communicator--writing simply about a wide range of distributed application types, problems, and solutions. Often, he gives us sufficient detail to illustrate the case without resorting to tutorial-style, step-by-step instructions."
strong declarative programming.......2005-11-01
Nagel takes us on a guided tour of what .NET has to offer the programmer. The book shows the advantages of .NET over the earlier COM approach to writing distributed code in a Microsoft environment. A key advantage being that under COM, your components had to be registered with the Registry. Whereas under .NET, this is totally unnecessary. Very nice. Interacting with the Registry has been a perennial sore point for some programmers. So under .NET, your components are, in this sense, more encapsulated and hence easier to maintain.
The virtues of writing a multitier application are explained. This is where you factor your code into 3 parts - UI, business logic and database server. (Or even more parts, depending on your circumstances.) How to do this in .NET takes up the bulk of the book. For example, the UI code shows how you might use ASP.NET to help build those components. While connecting to a database server can involve the use of ADO.NET.
The subtitle of the book refers to business solutions. An important consequence is the need for atomic transactions when using a database. So an entire chapter is devoted to showing how .NET enables this.
An important strength of .NET that emerges from the book is that it lets you do a lot of declarative programming, instead of procedural programming, to invoke components with useful functionality. The declarative effort is done by changing attributes in the XML metadata describing a component. Often, this is easier than writing a desired function by hand, and more robust against bugs.
Microsoft MVP 2005 - Visual C# recommended.......2005-07-21
Creating distributed applications in .NET is such a huge topic to try and cover in roughly 500 pages. You've got so many options based on who will use your .NET application and over what type of network connection/firewall configuration(s) they'll be using.
I'd have probably given this book 5 stars if it had just a little bit more detail on some of the lesser known challenges with creating distributed applications.
That said, Christian (author) does a great job of clearly communicating the complexities of creating a wide variety of distributed application types. Plenty of source samples to more than get you started on your way. I found his writing style easy to follow and the discussions quite relevant to the types of complex distributed software families I'm building today.
Covers a lot of ground.......2005-06-21
I'm impressed with this book. It's hefty 500 pages covers a wide range of topics at a level that should work for most intermediate to advanced engineers. The author doesn't go into obsessive details or the step by step explanations so often seen in books on Microsoft technologies. Instead, the author treats us like we have brains. Thank you.
Secure SOAP services, networking, transactions, concurrency, security and more are all covered in an effective and thorough manner. Bravo.

Book Description
Software development projects have always held the promise of greater efficiency or increased automation, but today’s business projects are no longer satisfied with automating existing ways of competing in the market place - they want to transform the markets themselves. Developing Business Objects brings together the experiences of the practitioners who pioneered the use of object-oriented methods and languages in commercial applications, and presents their experiences of applying and succeeding (and in some cases failing) with object technology. Since each chapter of the book is firmly grounded in the real world of people, budgets, deadlines, successes and failures, it cuts through the hype to the real issues that affect the quality and productivity of every software engineering endeavor. The book includes sections on the need for ‘concurrent engineering’ (all phases of a traditional life cycle happening in parallel and the advantages and difficulties this brings), the importance of understanding the business purpose rather than automating what currently exists, and the importance of effective management of change.
Book Description
Inside the Minds: The Software Business is an authoritative, insider's perspective on the ins and outs of the software industry and the future of the business, on a global scale. Featuring CEOs, Presidents, and Chairman all representing some of the top software companies across the world, this book provides a broad, yet comprehensive overview of the current shape and future state of this dynamic industry. As they raise critical points around the essentiality of meeting and exceeding customer needs and constantly striving for innovation, these authorities offer practical and adaptable strategies for managing a successful software company - large and small alike - and keeping up to date with the latest technological advances. From the processes involved in developing new products and growing one's business, to the effects of consolidation and an ever-changing marketplace, these leaders articulate the finer points around the industry now, and what will hold true into the future. The different niches represented and the breadth of perspectives presented enable readers to get inside some of the great strategic minds of today, as experts explore in detail what it takes to secure long-term success in this ever-evolving industry.
Book Description
Developing complex software requires more than just churning out lines of code. As a software architect or developer involved in an industrial project, you must understand and be able to leverage critical software sub-disciplines such as architecture, analysis and design techniques, development process, visual modeling, and the underlying technology to be successful.
This book brings all these diverse elements together from the J2EE development perspective to provide a holistic approach for the reader. Specifically, this book tries to answer the following key questions:
· What is UML and how is it relevant to J2EE development?
· How do Java and UML relate to each other?
· What are the key concepts in software architecture?
· How does a software development process fit into the J2EE software development equation?
· How can analysis and design help you in arriving at a better J2EE application design?
· What are the key J2EE technologies, and how do they fit together?
· How can you leverage the UML for J2EE development?
Rather than reinvent the wheel, the approach taken in this book is that of bringing together known works such as Jim Conallen's web modeling profile and the Sun Java Specification Request-26 for UML/EJB Mapping Specification.
To provide a practical illustration of the topics discussed, this book guides the readers through a sample J2EE application development project using the Rational Unified Process and the UML. A working implementation is provided. Suggestions for further enhancements are also listed to assist the readers in continuing their exploration of the UML and J2EE technologies.
Intended Audience
This book is suitable for anyone interested in learning about the UML and how it can be applied to J2EE development. Current J2EE application developers will learn how to apply the UML to J2EE application development. UML practitioners will benefit from learning about the J2EE in the context of the UML. And software professionals interested in learning both the UML and J2EE will be able to get to a productive state faster facilitated by the intertwined contextual discussion.
After reading the book, you will:
· Be able to effectively utilize the UML for developing J2EE applications
· Learn about the key J2EE technologies (EJB, JSP, Servlets) at a technical level.
· Know when to use Model 1 vs. Model 2 architecture, and situations where patterns such as value object and session bean chaining may be appropriate
· Understand software architecture concepts such as decomposition, layering, components, frameworks, patterns, and tiers
· Be able to apply techniques such as use case analysis, analysis object discovery, and analysis to design transformation to your J2EE project
· Understand the notion of software development process and the fundamentals of some of the currently popular processes
· Learn how to start using the Rational Unified Process for your J2EE project
This book only covers the Java language to the extent of providing a mapping of key Java concepts to the UML. Consequently, some familiarity with Java is assumed (knowing C++ or a similar language should be sufficient to get the basics out of the examples, though). Prior knowledge of, or experience with, the UML, J2EE, or enterprise application development is not a pre-requisite, but certainly helpful.
Customer Reviews:
Good overview of UML -Java mapping.......2002-04-01
This book has a good chapter 4 on UML-Java mapping which is explained very clearly. Other books tends to be bombastic and theorectical and vomitting out dry, useless high level UML jargons. Since most developers knows attrbutes and methods better than say, trying to figure out what an association link is, the mentioned chapter is invaluable. I wish the authors expanded more on UML-Java mapping as developer can then relate a diagram to the Java code. I would have given the book 5 star if it had expanded a bit on modelling XML and UML-Java mapping.
Not for code junkies.......2002-02-15
This is a book I have been waiting for, a book explaining the relationship between J2EE and UML in practical terms. Whilst the information is not in depth, it is at the right level to explain the concepts clearly, and it gives practical examples. You won't find pages and pages of Java code. But you'll find a case study built up during the first 15 chapters, and nicely summarised in the final chapter.
After a few introductory chapters, 5 chapters are devoted to explaining UML. Already familiar with UML, I skimmed through this, but still picked up good information. Particularly useful background was chapter 6, "Architecture".
The more technical chapters, 9 to 15, explain the J2EE technology in the contect of UML. I found this well explained with just enough information, with no pages "wasted" on code listings. But some Java is present, showing how UML would map to code. The different components of J2EE each has a chapter devoted to them, and the relationships between them are discussed.
All of the above is discussed in the context of RUP (Rational Unified Process), and the case study follows that process as well. The references to Conallen's WAE and the SUN standards are also very useful.
The authors should be congratulated on writing a very clear, well-edited well-organised book.
Excellent Book - Great Work!.......2002-01-29
Grady Booch wrote the foreward to this book where he speaks
highly of these two authors, and I'd have to agree with his
positive assessment. I don't often give out top ratings, but in
this case I was fairly impressed.
The book addresses these two key technologies and describes in
very practical terms how to really use the UML to help create
successful J2EE-based enterprise apps. Even though most of the
chapters go into significant depth and detail, the book is still
very readable by a wide audience. I think someone who is
relatively new to either of these technologies would gain lots
from this book, and even near-gurus should be able to find many
useful items here.
The book covers UML modeling of Java servlets, JSP, and all
current types of EJBs using the latest standards and extensions,
including JSR-26 and WAE. Early chapters go through the UML
mapping for standard Java language constructs, and suggest a
streamlined version of RUP used to develop the case study during
the rest of the book. Different approaches used by popular UML
modeling tools are shown, along with some ideas on future
directions.
I was impressed by the technology coverage for the different
J2EE components. Through a close examination of the architecture
and the different mechanisms at play, the reader learns a
significant amount about how J2EE components such as EJBs work,
how they're intended to be used, when they make sense to use,
and when they don't. There's also discussions on performance,
and some of the newer features in J2EE 1.3. Both J2EE 1.2 and
the new J2EE 1.3 are covered, which amazed me given the amount
of lead time a book like this needs to be published!
Downloadable code for the case study is available from the
publisher's site. The study is fairly compact, smaller than
Sun's pet store example, but I found this enabled me to have an
easier time following the code. What impressed me here is there
is complete working code for both J2EE 1.3 and 1.2, and the
example uses true container managed entity beans. Even Sun's pet
store never seemed to get these EJBs working right.
If a second edition of this book was to be written, I'd like to
see discussions on more advanced patterns using combinations of
J2EE components, additional performance enhancing techniques,
and a larger case study using some of these advanced patterns.
Overall, this was an excellent buy for me.
a nice light weight treatment of j2ee & uml.......2002-01-23
this book gives a nice coherent detailed tutorial of j2ee and uml, and how to use the two together. it's a pleasant read.
the treatment are concise and coherent, but somewhat light weight. it covers the most important concepts of both j2ee and uml. for modelling, it uses the wae and jsr26 uml extensions. it also follows a customized/simplified RUP process.
the analysis and design chapters (chapter 7 & 8) are pretty good.
the most significant drawback is the case study (chapter 16). it should have been elaborated more.
overall, its a nice attempt trying to put j2ee & uml together!
it's useful.......2002-01-21
i am just searching this kind of books. I was interested in UML and J2EE for a long time, but it's so regret that no one book fit me. This book appears, it looks good.

Book Description
Developing Business Systems with CORBA guides developers, programmers, and software managers through the development of object-oriented, distributed business systems using CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture). CORBA allows vendors to provide compatible components for the implementation of distributed systems in heterogeneous environments involving multiple operating systems and programming languages. The authors use their experience as developers, trainers and mentors to provide a solid understanding of CORBA technology by examining a realistic example system. They introduce concepts and terminology and lead up to a strategic architecture for distributed objects computing. They present CORBA in detail while introducing the reader to project management issues and the requirements for a business objects facility to integrate CORBA components and provide an abstraction for application development. Later chapters explore design issues, programming, and incorporating product features. The accompanying CD-ROM contains a demonstration application and a copy of the Enterprise Business Objects Facility (EBOF) developed at EDS.

Description:
Due to the market-driven nature of modern organisations, it is important that they can easily adapt to changing business needs. In order to be able to do so, organisations need to employ information systems that exhibit the important characteristic of adaptability. Change, however, is risky because it encompasses unpredictable behaviours. Organisations, in order to minimise this risk, employ decision support systems (DSS) techniques that enable predictions to be made. This paper describes a simulation methodology, based on the combination of business objects and system dynamics that assists organisations in predicting future behaviours. The methodology eliminates the need for duplicate models of enterprise operation and simulation, and introduces a framework that enables the unification of the two in a single model.
