Passed the exam first time...
Great book, covered all of the objectives that needed to be covered, read it in about 5 days on and off, took the exam straight after and passed. Would recommend.

This is all you need
This book is all you need to prepare for 70-228 exam. Layout is good, labs are easy to follow, testing software is included. Don't look anywhere else.

Passed 1st time.

Nice one MS
If you are new to SQL Server then this book is an absolute god send, I can see how it will be useful as a reference for more experienced administrators but if like me, youve been thrown in at the deepend then you couldnt go wrong with this one. It covers all the questions you would ask yourself about sql server in order to get going and get a feel for what it can do, just trust me and buy this book. If you join this with the Design title then you are well on your way to achieving those ms mcdba quals or just impressing your md with all the new cool things you can do =)
