3.0 out of 5 stars A good book for revision, 16 Mar 1999
By A Customer
I found this book useful for cramming in the days before the exam, and the end of chapter questions helped me to understand Microsoft's way of thinking. However, more checking is required before the book is published to avoid conflicting information!!!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good overview of exam topics, 5 Jan 1999
By A Customer
This book is a good study guide. Some of the other reviews point to inaccuaracies, which I did not find (perhaps I have a later print or something).

The book is crammed full of information. Even if some of the info is incorrect, the book shows you all the areas you need to cover and tries to show their relative importance.

I just passed the exam with 4 weeks cramming , some free downloaded tests and the online books.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tremendous Resource for VB 5.0 prgmrs. Lots of code samples, 22 Jul 1998
By A Customer
This book lives up to its assertion that it is "the perfect supplement to all certification study guides". It never gets bogged down in jargon. Michael MacDonald explains thoroughly yet concisely each of the major concepts of VB 5.0 programming.

There is no shying away from difficult concepts and no reverting to techno babble to explain them. The chapters are sensibly laid out; starting from VB datatypes, coding, collections and objects and then moving on from there.

Also provided in the front is a Handy Cram Sheet - things you should know before taking the test. There are also lots of example exam questions. Watch out for those typos though. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is that there are quite a few typos in code samples. Most are obvious to experienced programmers.

Regardless of certification requirements this book should be part of any serious VB programmer's library. Forget Microsoft Press. Buy this one.
