LOL Yes, it is a very large pity that there isn't any good study materials
yet. :S I've been invited a lot of the beta exams, and one of them has 11
pages of exam objectives (average MCAD exam objectives are about 2-3 pages)!
Another two exams have about 8-9 pages. I've been trying to get all the info
I need from MSDN, but it hasn't been easy at all.
One thing it took me a while to figure out, is you CANNOT find VS 05
specific features in the normal MSDN.Com!!!! You MUST go to
MSDN2.microsoft.com! Also, it is very easy to click a search result from
MSDN2 and get redirected to MSDN.com, and then if you do a search there you
won't get the results from MSDN2 (and hence no VS 05 results/updates/etc)
.... Hope this helps and good luck!!! :-)
