[shameless plug] Mine's coming out April 9: link [/shameless plug]

 

I'd seen that on the UK amazon site, is it out on the same date in the UK?

If so then it could be the first as I've yet to see any and most aren't due until May/June/July

PS - took a look at your website for more info but it's a little sparse

 

No idea about UK release dates. I remember when the Mike Meyers A+ All-in-One guide came out, it was cheaper and quicker to buy it from Amazon.com and have it shipped to the UK.

Info is sparse because we don't have any practice exam products available yet. They're "cooking".

 

Hi Michael

Just to let you know I ordered your book a few weeks back (UK site) and have just had an email to say it's been despatched and will be with me tomorrow

 

Thanks for the heads up! I would be interested to know how you get on with the exam in general.. keep us posted please!

 

Will do, it's the first 70-620 cert book that's available so far as I'm aware. Most seem to be released in May, June, July so hopefully I'll have it all done and dusted by then

First look at the MS objectives and it looks a lot easier and less in depth than the 70-270

 

Most excellent! Thanks for the heads up! I appreciate it!

 

Interesting that right under your book is this one written by two of my old mates from CertTutor, Ian Mclean and Orin Thomas..

I wonder how they compare

 

I'm glad to see that Ian's still writing. Although it's aging, I still consider his Windows 2000 TCP/IP Black Book to be a classic.

I've been in contact with the editor at Sybex and he's agreed to send me a copy of Michael and Josh's book MCTS: Microsoft Windows Vista Client Configuration Study Guide: Exam 70-620 when it is published...hey! That's later this month.

 

Yes i agree and i am a proud owner of that book, and your Master Visually Server 2003 one - they are sat right next to each other in my book case

 

LOL. Thanks. The difference is that Ian's book is great and mine...well, let's just say it was my first book and I didn't really know what I was doing.

 

Mike, does a trial copy of vista come with your book?

 

James, it's a fine book, sheesh don't put yourself down - it was a remarkable achievement at the time!

 

Not even at the time. It still is now. I used it just the other day to try and do something.

 

Actually, it's already published, and Jeff's already sending you your copy. ;)

 

No, I don't think so... trial copies haven't come in previous versions of Sybex's books.

 

No it doesn't

There's a copy of the book in PDF format
150 flash cards
Sybex Test Emgine

and

WinSim , a tool for practising various simulation excercises

 

Does the book look good, Gary? I haven't received my copies yet...

 

I'd have a word with the author to see if you can get a decent discount

I've not used Sybex books before so not really too familiar with their format (if they use similar for all their books)

I like the 'Exam Essentials' round up at the end of each chapter which enables you to ensure you know that stuff inside out

Just need to decide whether I start the 620 now and do it in tandem with the CWNA which I started 10 days ago or do them one by one.
