Started studying 70-271...

I couldn't stand it!

So, I have dusted off the Bill Ferguson Sybex book, and started reading.

It's an easy read, helped I assume by the fact that I have been using XP for years.

I reckon I should be ready to take 271 by the end of April/early May.

Will let you know how I get on...

It is an easy read - I also used Exam Cram 2 and MS Press book for this one. I found that while the sybex book had a good structure (which definitely helped) the MS Press book added a lot of flesh onto the bones. Exam Cram 2 less so.

Good luck though and keep us updated


It's the journey that matters, not the destination.

Aims:
70-271: Dec 2007 PASSED!
70-272: March 2008 PASSED!
ITIL v3 Foundation: June 2008
Net+: July 2008
70-270: Nov 2008

I have those book also, although I haven't started reading them yet. I am still going through advanced parts of XP although I have used XP everyday in my job I have never used it in an advanced way and since I have only had a pc for a year (not had one for 10 years) I am still getting used to it.

Good luck with it.

Cheers guys... I will let you know how I get on... enjoying getting back into the thick of things, in a masochistic sort of way...
