I also noticed that the quepublishing site appears to be remarkably quiet about any of the upcoming books from Amit Kalani. Doe anyone know what's going on here?

The date for the 70-547 book seems to have been postponed from 28 Feb 2007 on the Uk site: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0789735571/026-6154942-8862065?v=glance&n=266239&v=glance to 1 June 2007 on the US site: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0789735598/026-6154942-8862065?v=glance&n=266239 The date for the 70-528 book appears to be unchanged at 22 November 2006, both on the UK site: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0789735598/026-6154942-8862065?v=glance&n=266239 and on the US site: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0789735598/104-5803671-5926362?v=glance&n=283155 Amit Kalani's books are very good (I've used several) but waiting that long for the foundation exam is not really an option for me. I expect am not the only one. A real shame.

Maybe other sources will have to suffice till we can get our hands on this book.

There are quite a few good sites to choose from. I use msdn all the time, and I find Bill Bozeman's blog very convenient too: http://www.bozemanblog.com/PermaLink,guid,6747c672-b948-49a3-b8d3-798f4c494238.aspx Plus any free assessments I come across, like this one http://www.microsoft.com/learning/assessment/ind/visualstudio/default.mspx#vs_net

Although I did find some areas a little lacking, particularly threading, and noticed a couple of errors, but no more than any other book of this ilk. I combined it with some the excellent web casts provided by MS and MSDN2 which filled in anything I was unsure about. Passed this morning, pissed this evening.
