Book review : “MCSD Certification Toolkit (Exam 70-483): Programming in C#”

Introduction

I’ve recently passed the Microsoft 70-483 “Programming in C#” certification which is one of the entry point into the .Net and WinRT developers certification cycles.
To be well prepared I’ve read the two books entirely dedicated to this certification : MCSD Certification Toolkit (Exam 70-483): Programming in C# and Exam Ref 70-483: Programming in C#.

Cet article est une revue complète de MCSD Certification Toolkit (Exam 70-483): Programming in C#.
C’est le 1er livre que vous devriez lire, je pense celui qui prépare le mieux à la certification, mais paradoxalement le moins bon techniquement, et vous allez vite comprendre pourquoi.
