I must confess that I was first attracted to this book by its price. $13.99 for a 2k "MCSE" wanna to be books! I set out one-day to skim over after received from Amazon. I must say what a bargain. Don't let the price of the book fools you. This is an excellent and well-organized written book. The author attacked all subjects (11 totals) outlined by Microsoft 2k Professional study guide.
At the beginning of each chapter, the author gives a short but precise and direct summary of what will be covered or expected on the test for this particular topic. And what about that "Exam Watch" thing, it is a short paragraph that pointed out certain things needed to watch on the real exams. This feature is so thoughtful and definitely a big plus for 2k MCSE wanna to be. Furthermore, the author gives (in every question/answer) a clear explanation of why this is a correct answer instead of the others. I really really like this book. After one-day skim over, I must say love at the first sight!
And finally, as a bonus there is a 50-pages glossary. I have never seen any book in this category that has a glossary. Let alone 50 pages!
As a CNE (what is that?) and "pre-2k" MCSE, I have done all my study materials by self-face. This book definitely will be the one for my 2k Professional study material. As a 10 year IT veteran, I would strongly recommend this book for all Microsoft Windows 2k people. It has so much detail technical information that IT folks will find it useful reference material for day to day dealing with 2k. As a veteran adjunct faculty for a nationwide technical institute, I would strongly recommend for my students.
Impressive achievement!
