Frustrated with the 70-642 material
Am I the only one who thinks MS Press books are horribly written? :P I'm currently reading the MS Press 70-642 R2 book. I'm finding it frustrating. In some cases a term is used that is not explained until the next chapter. In fact, it sometimes does not say that it won't be further investigated until the next chapter.…
