Customer Reviews

Excellent book for the VB desktop certification

This is the best book available till date in the market.This book is very easy to read and covers all the topics for the certification.I highly recommend this book.

I just passed today!

This book defintely helped me pass the test. The test covered every topic on the test, including the Package and Deployment wizard and VSS, which other books tend to be weak on. It was easy to see how each topic matched the topics on the exam. Each concept is marked with a number that corresponds to a topic on the exam, so you can see which chapter in the book covers each part of the exam. There are typos, and I found a few questions that gave incorrect answers in the answer key, but overall it was the best book out of the three books I purchased(O'Reilly's came in a close second, with Coriolis Exam Prep a far distant third)

Typos aside, still solid

I found the book to be an excellent prep for the exam. Some of the unworking code examples are fragments of code that aren't intended to stand alone. I can't comment on code provided on the CD as I didn't use it. The book does not lead you by the hand, which for me was a good thing. It could be better, but couple this with MSDN Library or MSDN Online and you're rolling.

A great study guide

To make it short and sweet--this book helped me pass the exam. Good, complete coverage of objectives. Helpful background material, too. I'm glad I bought it!
