prodotto arrivato con grande puntualità , pacco non ingombrante, questo libro è molto utile per chi deve studiare l'intero sistema operativo di w7 , l'unica pecca che non è portatile questo libro, quindi scordatevi di studiare in metro

I have been out of the IT field for over 10 years, and just started coming back into it. I've kept an eye on things going on, but not on a professional level, just a causal at home level. Recently went back to school and finished up my 4 year degree, got an IT job and then was told to get certified for my year end goals. I picked this certification to start things off as per Microsoft recommendations. Great book, explains everything easy enough a beginning person can understand. There is various challenge questions after sections to see if you understood what was being said. There is also at the end of each lesson a lab to do. So you can apply hands on what the book is teaching.

OK so there are some minor errors in the book, which I easily went online and fixed, because anyone with half a brain will do research on before buying it or know, any manual will have its printing errors.

I am half way through this book and scoring good marks (90% to 100%) on tests. Of course I take the tests in learning mode so I know why an answer is wrong and even why its right. Sometimes these little mini summaries are better explanations of wording then the whole section in the chapter.

So would I say, go get this book? Yes. Everyone learns differently, but I believe anyone who has the drive and intelligence can use this book to study and pass the exam.

After working through the first five chapters I think I can safely say that this book is excellently written and easy to understand. I have read a few MS press books previously that sometimes got me annoyed as the authors seemed to go off with some long winded guff that was neither relevant or necessary, but five chapters in and this book has yet to do that.

I have managed to answer all practice questions correctly at the end of each lesson and chapter after reading each chapter only once (a first for me!) so they must be doing something right!!

Of course the proof will be when I take the MS exam but signs are looking good if the practice questions are anything to go by.

Highly recommended if you're thinking about taking the 70-680 exam.
