This Book is the ticket if you want to pass exam 70-176 Desktop Applications for VB6. I read the entire book and worked the labs in two weeks. I took the test today and passed.
I especially liked the "Using this Book to Prepare for Certification" section (which is a task by task outline of the certification requirements as they relate to different lessons in the book). The practice test that is included on the CD that comes with the book is very much like the real test and helps to give you a good feel for what to expect in the way of delivery of the exam. The CD also has a full VB 6.0 multimedia course "Learn VB 6.0 Now" that is very much like the MS Mastering Series in design.
The only problem with the CD is that you will have to hunt for each of the Setup EXE's to load these training aids on your computer. There is no master Setup EXE to step you through loading everything the CD offers.

The training kit is a nice method of studying for the MCSD exam. It covers basic to indermediate Visual Basic programming. However, it may not be enough to pass the exam.
In order to fully take advantage of this product, you will need to do the various examples in the book and understand what is happening. Some of the most important topics, like ADO, will require additional learning. The MSDN CD that ships with Visual Basic should help here.
For those who are not up to the level of this book, the CD-ROM ships with a copy of Learn Visual Basic Now, which should get you to the the level you need to be to complete this Training Kit.
My biggest problem with this book is not the material, but the stupid typos. For a company that prides itself on its spell-checking ability, typos like knoe (for know) are absolutely unacceptable. Fortunately, the material is much better than the spelling.
Format:Paperback
This book was well worth reading. It points you in the right direction and then if you want to know more you can go to alternative sources.
