A MUST for any VC6 developer

This is one of the best books I've ever brought! It uses some great build-it-yourself project examples to cover an incredible amount of ground. It reads in a very easy but factual and organised way. There are no flat boring sections and any complex areas of VC6 are covered with ease. It must be said that reading and fully understanding everything in this book wont necessarily be enough to pass the exam, but it will take you most of the way and it'll probably make a first rate VC developer of you.

It helped me pass the exam, but not a one stop.

The training kit was a great help for me to pass exam 070-016. I like the author(s) relaxed and friendly approach. The material presented covers a lot of ground and maps quite well to the exam objectives I guess, but does not go into enough depht to make it a one stop for the exam.

Not much help for the test, but well worth the $.

I gave it 4 stars because the book did not help much with the exam itself. But it is definately worth the money. The two cds that come with the book bring an sql server 7.0 trial and a nice tutorial. The tutorial gives a good intro/review of C++ and OO, plenty of step by step examples and some nice videos that explain how messages are routed and how the document/view architecture works and a few others. The ratio of knowledge per dollar spent gets 5 stars in this book, but as far as help for the exam itself it gets 2.5 stars. This book alone will give you a 50% chance of passing the exam. I think that the test went a lot deeper into com/atl and the capabilities provided by specific interfaces than what the book talks about.

I found the book to be useful for the exam

I used this text to help me prepare for the exam I also used the Mastering MFC Development using Visual C++6. I also used the Transcender for my final prep and all of the tools together helped me pass the exam.I hope this helps
