A very good colection towards certification

I purchased this book for Microsoft certification guidance. (As there aren't many good books in portuguese). I'd rate it 4 starts, because it's a really good book. They usually start with easy³ stuff, as adding forms and stuff like that. But they go deeper as you read the book. I do recommend it.

The book is very good.

Easy to read
