Customer Reviews

This is a book I would recommend to my co-workers

Excellent coverage of how to compile a project with class modules into a COM component how to set properties to control the instancing of a class within a COM component. Could have been stronger in Explaining how to handle errors using ADO. Very good index and well organized around the exam objectives

Worth the money

Gets to the core issues of this course and exams, which is how to accesses data from a database and use COM. Good ActiveX control examples and the self test on cd was helpful. There are a lot of practice questions at the end of the chapters.

Very good, I shouldn't have paid for a course

This was a very comprehensive book. I had taken the course and the book covers some things that weren't in the course, especially some of the more advanced COM topics. Not much intro coverage---so this isn't for first time VB programmers, but neither is the exam.

I thought the questions were fine and the book was excellent

The questions in this book are what you'd expect them to be. They're drills to see if you absorbed the chapter material. I've taken the beta exam and I can tell you for certain that the authors know what's on that exam. Don't take it without reading the book.

Database and COM heavy with good excercise

The SQL and COM stuff here is good with a lot of excercises. Overall the books is heavy on database apps. Wizards, packaging and all the other cools InterDev/VB 6 stuff is extensive. I'd reccomend this if you're planning on taking the exam soon. Besides, there's nothing else out
