Response to 9/11 review 5 out of 5 stars.
6 of 6 people found this review helpful.
I sympathize with the reader who posted the review on 9/11. The FrontPage MCSD Exam is difficult, costly, and requires all of us who take it to set aside hours, even weeks of unpaid time to study and prepare. On top of all that, the exam format and testing environment are both very difficult.But... none of that really validates the readers conclusion that he failed the test because of my book. Any long, technical book will have a few minor errors like the one noted by the reader, and in this case, I post corrections at the book's Web site as soon as I'm notified of them.
People who buy this book and embark on the preparation process for the 70-055 exam should understand what they're in for. My book cannot compensate you for prep time, training classes, or do anything about the high cost of the exam. The book simply organizes and presents the information required to pass the test. I think the book is a good value - it includes a free introductory-level FrontPage training CD. But some readers will need to take additional FrontPage training to prepare them to pass the FrontPage MCP exam.
The sample tests in the book and the online exam cover the material in the test, but cannot duplicate the exact interactive format of the exam itself. Finally, as other readers have noted, my Web site provides many additional helpful resources for passing the exam including a forum for exchanging experiences.
Readers who are already experts at FrontPage seem to find the book very helpful in preparing for the sometimes strange and obscure skills required for the exam. For other FrontPage developers preparing for the exam, a book like Teach Yourself FrontPage 98 in a Week is a better place to start.
There are many resources for preparing for the FrontPage MCP exam, and used in that context I think my book is valuable.
Note: I included stars in this posting only because an entry in that field is required to post a review.
