To track Newest Trends in Microsoft certification ,Today we focus on the materials for the newest Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist .Recently ,Microsoft has released some new exams .However ,there are no books or selftest for us to prepare those exams .As the people who produce the training kits/courses are not the same people that produce the exams, there will always be a period of time when the exam is out but no material except TechNet or some materials about the technology and your own experience with the technology to rely on for the exam.
Believe me, it will take time to produce a good book/training kit for an exam, otherwise there would be a lot more errors in the material, which will cause people to fail the exam when they take it.
