| :: MCP Hall of Fame - by Adam Chee :: |
|
2005 was a good year for me. It was October 2005 when I won the first ever Microsoft Certified Professional Hall of Fame (international) organized jointly by Microsoft and Windows IT Pro. The grand prize for winning the award included a fully paid VIP visit to Microsoft Campus in Redmond Washington, a trip that I made during the week of the 17th April 2006.
As a techie who lives on Microsoft products, I will never forget the moment I stepped into Microsoft Campus. The campus came across as a super-sized university (just think of a very big university campus) and during my trip there, I realized that even the work culture reminded me somewhat of an undergrad’s lifestyle.

Here are the latest product reviews have been submitted to our Training Directory. We would really appreciate it if you would help your fellow members out by writing a short review of the books and products that you have used or are currently using.
A+ Certification Exam Cram 2 (Exam Cram 220-301, Exam Cram 220-302), Second Edition
Reviewed by Anonymous
This book has everything you should need for passing the Hardware exam. I found it was a little lacking when it came to the OS exam though. The testing software that came with the book was really helpful. I think it's a pretty good study guide, but should be used in conjunction with other information sources.
Network+ Certification All-in-One Exam Guide, Third Edition (All-in-One)
Reviewed by VaughnJames
I used this book along with his Network+ Passport book as the only study texts and I passed the exam with a 763. I think he does a good job and you would probably pass using this book alone if you studied very hard but there is some additional material in the Passport that isn't included in the All In One. I highly suggest buying your voucher through Mikes site and getting the additional 8 practice exams that come with it. Strangely enough, the practice exams did include the occasional item that wasn't covered well in the book and you can take that to answer.com to do a little extra research.
Mike doesn't promise you'll get a 900, he promises you'll get a pass. If you really study the book and do the practice exams I think that's exactly what will happen. :)
