Title: Don't bother
Review: There is no excuse for errors, no matter how small or obvious. Some in here are glaring. For example: how logical design effects performance has to do with issues like distributing application logic to multiple servers, which optimizes scalability but will have a slight negative effect on performance. Logical design has nothing to do with what data types you use for performance optimization. That's a physical design issue! The authors did not understand this. They also do not understand how to make a point without rambling. This book is barely readable compared to the many technical books I've read. I normally don't like to write negative reviews, but this book was very bad in my opinion, and I've been doing VB6 middle tier programming for a couple years. I just took the 70-175 exam and passed by a wide margin. You are much better off spending your money on MCSD Nutshell. It is excellent. Even the MS MCSD training kit was significantly better than Syngress' book.
