Review:

As certifications for computer and network professionals go, the Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) rating may be the most widely recognised. That means that if you're going to invest time, money and effort in earning a certification, the MCSE may give you the most career yield. MCSE in a Nutshell: The Windows 2000 Exams is the latest version of O'Reilly & Associates' MCSE preparation guide, updated to reflect the new MCSE requirements that came with the release of the Windows 2000 family of operating systems. As always, this book represents excellent value. It covers everything Microsoft says you need to know to pass core and elective exams in the MCSE battery.

Michael Moncur and Paul Murphy succeed in making this book space-efficient by minimising overlap of coverage among chapters, each of which addresses the contents of a single exam. It also counts on its readers' having either a lot of Windows NT/2000 experience or access to a laboratory network (or, preferably, both). Though the book contains a fair bit of explanation of terms and concepts, this is more of a study guide to accompany experimentation than a tutorial on its own. The authors seem to believe that hands-on experience is the way to learn Windows 2000. You'll find sample tests to gauge your learning, with minimally annotated answers. --David Wall

Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
