Beta period). Marius, Thank you my friend for all the guidance.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" size="1"&gt;The order I've taken :229, 315, 320, 316, 300. I felt 229 &amp;amp; 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. :)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" size="1"&gt;Books/resources that i've read(also useful for the Exam). (Apart from msdn..). &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" size="1"&gt;Applied MS.NET Framework(Jeffrey Richter), (.NET componets(Oreilly - Juval Lowy), &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" size="1"&gt;Prof ASP.NET Webservices(wrox), Prof. ASP.NET(wrox), ADO.NET(David Sceppa), Advanced .NET Remoting(Ingo Rammer).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" size="1"&gt;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. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" size="1"&gt;Happy Prog'g !&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://sqljunkies.com/WebLog/aggbug.aspx?PostID=224" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>BetaPlace...</title><link>http://sqljunkies.com/WebLog/mallik/archive/2003/08/08/174.aspx</link><pubDate>Fri, 08 Aug 2003 19:49:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d2584c15-f6ef-46f7-a2d4-24fc0e143e76:174</guid><dc:creator>mallik813</dc:creator><slash:comments>3</slash:comments><comments>http://sqljunkies.com/WebLog/mallik/comments/174.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://sqljunkies.com/WebLog/mallik/commentrss.aspx?PostID=174</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" size="1"&gt;You can request Betas from MS here...&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
