Mission-
The following books are offered to assist those interested in pursuing MCSD certification. Please recommend other titles that you are aware of, especially in the areas of C++, J++, and SQL Server.
Certification (new track) requires passing the solution architecture exam, one of two desktop application exams, one of two distributed applications exams, and one of several elective exams.
Good luck.
