Depends on which MCSD certification you're interested in. If it's Web Applications, then the Microsoft books are a reasonable place to start. The MS 70-480 "Training Guide" is fairly comprensive and well-writen. The MS 70-486 and 70-487 "Exam reference" books are thinner and not as good, and the 487 book contains a number of errors. They are still worth reading though, although other books will be needed.

Multi-platform. My goal is to be either the VP or President over the IT Security department of a company.
