EXCELLENT 2000 Publish Date 957 Pages BOOK WITH CD ::: CAUTION : I am not certain, but there may be more than 1 edition of the same ISBN Number. The one I am commenting is the 957 page book 2000 Published with CD with PRIBNTED DATE 2000. I congratualate Michael Ekedahl for the excellent work done in publishing this book through Course Technology. The Book also includes a CDROM 2000 pub date. The CD includes Transcender Certification Test Prep software. To complete the chapters and the end of chapter excercise s in the book the accompanying CD has the data files needed. I would Follow the HELP FILES to copy them to your computer. What I like most is the way the Chapers are arranged. Each chapter begins with a programming related problem that the reader would expect to come across in real world business, immediately followed by a demonstration of application necessary to slove the problem. All of the teaching tools for the text are found in the instructor's resource kit available from Course Technology WEb-site www.coursetechnology.com and on the CDROM. I suggest you to contact Customer Service of Thomson Learning for most current and up-to-date information. Thomson Learning Customer Service 1-800-347-7707 By Vasant L.

I am Certified in VB 5.0 and am close to taking the VB 6.0 test. I have alot to learn, but this book is not for the beginner. I believe this book to be the best overall book for preparing for certification. I read the version 5 of this book and could not wait to read this one also. I will be teaching VB again in the Spring of 2000. I used the Diane Zak book from Course Technology for the Intro to VB. I would like to use this book also for the advanced class in VB. I can not say enough good about this book. With the right teacher, this book would be dynamite. I would like to get our college to switch to this book for the advance classes. I would start in chapter 1 and cover the entire book. I think there is enough material her for 2 quarters. I think that the topics are relevant and not just advanced. I can understand people who may not like this book. This book is not the easiest to read but I do not want an easy book. Number of pages read don't count on certification - only if you know the material. If you want an easier book to read, there are plenty. I recommend this book highly to anyone who will listen. This book also has a 'Teaching Tools' CD that is available from the publisher for an extra cost. This extra CD is pretty neat - it has ready made tests for students, tests that can be put on a network and administrated online, and teaching notes, over heads, and more. Great resource. Even if you are not going to teach, the instructor's notes are a great summary of the points you need to know for your certification. This book and extra CD is an awesome combination. Not for the faint of heart.
This is a great book
