Customer Reviews

A book right on target!

This book covers all topics you need to know for the exam in a compressed, but still relatively easy to comprehend way. (Of course it helps if you have some experience with VC++ 6). The pointers to what you should do / not do during the exam are to the point and helped me a lot. The sample questions are very much like the questions in the real exam. Actually in my case they were more difficult than the real questions asked! If you work your way through this book and manage to answer over 50-60% of the total correctly, you stand a good chance to pass the exam.It's definitely a book you should buy!

Great summary, could have used more database stuff

I just passed my 70-016 exam on the first try, using this book. This book provided me with a great resource to brush up on concepts I already knew, as well as point me toward resources to help me with the stuff I didn't know about. You will probably need a book on COM and a book on database programming to supplement this book. You will probably also need a year or two of experience using Visual C++.

Perfect Visual C++ Study Guide

This is the perfect book for exam study. It exposes and explains the areas that the exam covers very well. Actually this book does more than that. It has really helped my Visual C++ skills. This is not a one and only book. (No programming book is)But this one is a must have. It gives you a marker to examine you skills.

Best Book Available to Prepare for VC++ 6.0 Desktop Exam

I recently passed both the Visual C++ 6 Desktop & Visual C++ 6 Distributed Exams in one month using Mr. Lacey's exam cram books. I can't tell you how impressed I am with the quality of the material he (and the team at Coriolis) put together for the cram guides. I purchased "study guides" from two other publishers that did not cover the material in 1/10th the depth that these "cram guides" covered the material.I have to agree that the coverage of COM and Aggregation are about as good as you can can get. I have been recommending his coverage of COM to co-workers who are just beginning with COM and want a clear, consise overview of what COM is all about.I found the material recommended in the "Need To Know More?" sections to be invaluable. I believe his recommendations to be the best materials available on each topic.For the Distributed exam I didn't even bother buying anything but the Coriolis cram guide for the exam and one of the database books recommened in the "Need To Know More?" recommendations.I've probably read 30 computer-related technical books in the last 5 years. I've read four that I was actually impressed with--two of those four books are Mr. Lacey's. His books were useful, accurate and well-written.Truly excellent books!

Best book for the desktop exam

By far the best preparation for the c++ exam available. I like the fact that the test questions tell you why the answer is correct but also why the other options are wrong. I have not seen any other study guides that do this. The Microsoft books tend not to go into enough detail - but are a good introduction. I've used other study guides for SQL Server and for the WOSA exams - but this is the best yet.
