What is the best resource for studying for Microsoft certifications -- specifically the .NET 2.0 developer series?
There are a lot of options out there, we have been using the MS Press books and Transcender exams where I work, but I know there are other competitors -- I would like to see what the StackOverflow community considers the best.
In my opinion the books from Microsoft Press are the best source. But that's just me.
I am not sure but this is probably a duplicate question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/157278/what-are-the-best-resources-for-preparing-for-a-mcts-exam
So far the highest rated recommendation there was to use Microsoft Press Self-Paced Training books
Some time ago, the Exam Cram / Exam Prep series of books offered great coverage of the Microsoft exams. They were comprehensive and were still useful as reference manuals later. They vary in qualify from exam to exam and I have not used them for the current exams so I am not vouching for their current quality. They were great several years ago.
At the time that I used them, they were far more focused on the exam material and more comprehensive than the MSPress materials that were supposedly the official training material for the exam but MSPress has improved a lot since those days.
You should use some short of practice tests. See "has anyone get experience of both measureup and transcender practice tests" for a review of some of the practice tests on offer.
