According to Kindle, I'm 51% of the way through the book, so I figure i'll give my initial impression of the book now, then update my review once I'm done, and maybe again after I take the exam.First, let me say that sometimes procrastination pays off. Back in January, my employer required that I choose a certification to complete by the end of the year. At the time, there were NO published books on Exam 70-346. I procrastinated on studying for the exam until last week, when I looked again for books, and voila! here was a book published in July 2015.A bit of background about me. I've been working on a SharePoint implementation for the past two years as a collateral duty. I started the project knowing what SharePoint was, but without any experience using it. My SharePoint site collection was set up for me, so my administration is limited to the helping-users and setting-up-sites flavor. The content covered by 70-346 is clearly in the IT Department's scope, which I do not share in my role as a software application development management role.The book starts off well, providing an overview of the content to be covered by the book. It does a pretty good job of explaining concepts as it goes along, but it chooses weird places to take you through the procedure of how to do something. I'm, not anticipating that the exam is going to ask me what step #3 of setting up an Office 365 custom domain is, so I'm not quite sure what the point of these step-wise procedures is. They don't, in my opinion, enhance the concepts and general information you'd need to know about how to do things.Fast forward to chapter 3, and you end up with two hours of reading about PowerShell commandlets.
