Summary: Supplement your study for this one
Review: Having recently passed exam 70-310 I believe this book does a satisfactory job of exposing us to the basic concepts required for the exam. Unfortunately, basic concepts are not enough for 70-310. During my month of preparation, I found I had to refer to both MSDN and "Microsoft .NET Distributed Applications" (ISBN 0735619336) for more elaborate explanations and working examples (some of the Sybex sample code did not work, and no errata appeared to be available on-line).
Bottom line: if you plan to use this book to prepare for 70-310, then be prepared to supplement your studies with additional resources.

Summary: Some good points but not enough
Review: This is the third Sybex book I have purchased. The first two books I bought were for the 70-306 and 70-229 exams and they were both sufficient for those exams. Although I passed the 70-310 exam, I believe it is only because I first took the 70-306 exam which has a lot of overlap with the 70-310 exam. There were at least a half dozen questions out of 57 which were not even lightly covered in this book. That said, I would still recommend this book as an introduction for your preparation for the 30-310 exam. The chapter on security is very well written and is superior to the same section in the 70-305/70-306 book. You will just need to cover each topic a bit more thoroughly with other materials (perhaps reading Microsoft online documentation after each topic). This is good advice for any exam since you should have a goal of thoroughly understanding each topic as well as wanting to pass the exam.
