Product Description

Product Description

Most other certification books seek Microsoft approval, meaning they must include at least 50% tutorial material, and cover every objective for every exam, no matter how frivolous or relevant to the actual exam. MCSE Fast Tracks break away from that mold by focusing only on what you really need to know. Targeted to those who know the technology but who don't yet have the certification, MCSE Fast Track: Visual Basic 6, Exam 70-175 features only what the more-experienced candidate needs to know to pass the exams. Each book in the Fast Track series has two parts. Part One contains all the information you need to know about the exam. It uses an easy-to-follow approach to drills you on exam-critical information. Part Two features classroom-tested, instructor-proven review strategies, including Fast Fasts, Hotlists of Exam-Critical Concepts, Sample Test Questions, and the Insider's Spin. MCSE Fast Tracks are your accelerated path to MCSE success.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's perfectly good...if you know VB., 8 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This book is exactly what it claims to be. A quick guide to what you need to know for the 175 exam. It won't tell you how to program, it assumes you know that already (hence for EXPERIENCED candidates) and it certainly won't give you questions from the exam (there are in fact, no questions in this book from the exam) but it does give you a basis of what you NEED to know and what you need to understand to pass this exam.

I give it a heartly thumbs up as it did exactly what it claimed to do, it helped an experienced candidate pass.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Roadmap/Guide for 70-175 Preparation!, 15 Mar 1999
By A Customer
As with the 70-176 book, I used this one to pass 70-175. It was quite helpful, although not as in-depth in some areas as 70-176 was. The coverage of MTS was somewhat limited. However, it provides good comparisons between DHTML and IIS WebClass applications, which you'll need to know! Also, it has a good explanation of Dynamic Load Balancing, n-tier application development, and other theoretical concepts. These are *very* important topics on the exam. It provides an excellent roadmap for ADO, which you'll get a lot of in 70-175 (unlike 70-176). I would recommend this book as a guide, while using the product and MSDN as a secondary source. Take the sample at the end of the book (which is a bit easier than the actual exam, but definitely representative of what you'll see), and if you score 85% or higher, you're probably in good shape for the test. Good luck!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Overview of VB, 17 Oct 1999
By A Customer
A really useful book for those planning to take the exam and those who are not. It summarises what VB can do, explaining how to do it very briefly. I noticed a large number of things I never knew VB6.0 could do. This book has broadened my knowledge of VB.

3.0 out of 5 stars OK but not enough
This book works fine for the test but not enough to cover the whole test and also missed some very important part of it

2.0 out of 5 stars redundent information
One book for 70-176 is worth 155 FF, one book for 70-175 is worth 155 FF, the two books together aren't worth 310 FF.

These two books are almost the same.

3.0 out of 5 stars Is in-line with other Fast-track books, but not enough...
This book is well written, and stays on topic for the most part. Granted, there is a lot of carry over from the 70-176 (and if I had it to do over again, I would only buy this... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Not too bad if you already have a good knowledge base in VB.
First of all let me say that I reserve 5 stars for a book that basically walks me through an exam. I haven't seen one yet! Overall this book wasn't too bad. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your time or money

5.0 out of 5 stars Great test prep
If you are a programmer and heading towards your MCSD exams, the Fast Track series is wonderful. I bought both the 70-176 and the 70-175 books and I am impressed. Read more
