Is there a way to obtain the study guide for course 2557 (Building COM+
Applications using .NET Enterprise Services) without attending a class?
I'm
not actually interested in its related certification, just the material
for
learning (and refresher) purposes.
Most CPLSs (Certified Partner for Learning Solutions) should be happy to
sell you the manual for the MOC course without requiring you to attend the
class, since their agreement with Microsoft requires them to buy a certain
minimum number of MOC manuals. They also buy them at a discounted price, so
they'll make a profit out of selling the manual itself, even though it is
not as much as they would make if they got you to take the class.
