This book will do the trick for a good overview of Interdev and distributed applications. It touches on MTS, SQL, DHTML, and ASP. However, as with all the other MOC Training Kits, don't rely on this book to give you exam success. For a more thorough look at VID, check out the Microsoft "Mastering..." series. If you're expecting to pass the exam with this book, then I give it two stars. If you're just looking for an overview of distributed programming/Internet applications, I give it three stars.
