Review


Due to popular demand, a review of a Microsoft Visual Basic 6 certification book has been added to the site. More and more companies are seeking Microsoft Certified Professionals. Programmers with an "MCP" title definitely have an edge over those who don't.
Generaly, most MCSD books are inadequate in preparing developers to pass the Microsoft certification exams. They don't provide enough exam type questions/examples, and also fall short in covering all the material needed to pass the exams. Fortunately, New Riders Publishing has published "MCSD Training Guide - Visual Basic 6 Exams". This book covers exams 70-175 and 70-176. This is the finest Visual Basic certification book presently out there. It is the preferred VB certification book in the Visual Basic community and has helped more VB developers acquire their MCSD certification than any other book in its class.
The book is very easy to read and provides clear, accurate and thorough information. It provides the reader with numerous exam tips, study strategies, step by step exercises, case studies, exam questions and practice exams. Also, the CD ROM which is included with the book contains the New Riders "Top Score" software suite. This software package is designed to simulate the exam situation you'll encounter at the testing center.
If you want to adequately prepare yourself for the VB MCSD exams, then this is the book you need.
