MCSD for MS.NET

Good to get MCSD for MS.NET, after started working on .NET 2 years ago(incl. Beta period). Marius, Thank you my friend for all the guidance.

The order I've taken :229, 315, 320, 316, 300. I felt 229 & 320 hard. I can understand 320 b/c I've little experience with Remoting, but surprisingly 229 toped my list.... after considering the fact that I am reasonably good at databases. :)

Books/resources that i've read(also useful for the Exam). (Apart from msdn..).

Applied MS.NET Framework(Jeffrey Richter), (.NET componets(Oreilly - Juval Lowy), Prof ASP.NET Webservices(wrox), Prof. ASP.NET(wrox), ADO.NET(David Sceppa), Advanced .NET Remoting(Ingo Rammer).

Found ADO.NET, Building, Deployment, Debugging, Security topics repeat on different exams, so if you read thoroughly once, it'll be taken care for all other exams.

Happy Prog'g !
