Right,  I never did get round to doing my exam but I learned a few things from the WSS book. However, my my latest venture is trying to learn MVC and, you couldn’t ask for a better book than Steve Sanderson’s Pro ASP.NET MVC 2 Framework. An excellent book and well worth the read, especially if you want to create web sites which comply with XHTML strict standards.

Having worked with SharePoint for nearly four years now I’ve decided its about time I took the exams. So, I’ve bought this book to brushed up on my skill to pass 70-631 – the first of four I intend to sit. I think I’ll leave SP 2010 for now!  However, as always, I have been guilty of procrastination, this time its the Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4 Training Kit – February Release.
