Study materials for exam 70-300, MSF, UML, ER, ORM and more...
Today I've cleared the 4th exam on the road to MCSD.NET...
To pass it I've used the official MSPress book. It's a very good book (I think) about Microsoft Solutions Framework, and it's very useful also if you don't have to study for the exam.
To summarize it I've used the
Robert McLaws MSF study guides.
I've read some articles about requisites gathering, UML and use cases (I was already prepared on that field, only a little recap) and I've used the time spent to
prepare the ORM course to recap my knowledge about ORM itself and especially ER diagrams.
Hope it helps!
P.s. If you need a very good introduction to MSF, please find a session about it from
Rafal Lukawiecki in one of the Microsoft events and enjoy one of the best presentation that I've ever attended.
I followed that session two times, one at EMEA Architects Tour 2003 here in Milan and one at Tech Ed 2003, and I've enjoyed both very much.
Sometimes I put the Tech Ed post conference DVD in the PC only to hear that session another time...
Perhaps Microsoft can put that presentation online on the MSF site...
I think that it will increase a lot the adoption of MSF :-)
