It does the job
I used this book to pass the exam. I scored 957. I did get a few questions in the exam that were either not covered adequately or not at all in this book. But, I do feel that the book did provide a solid resource for the key parts of the exam, i.e. ADO, MTS, COM and n-tier technology. I would only recommend this book to people that have a fairly solid background in VB and want to pass the exam.

decent material for exam preparation
This book definitely covers almost everything that's on the exam.
However, I must agree with most reviewers that you need more than this book to pass the exam. With practice exams, (I purchased ones from Transcender) if you read this book thoroughly, and understand the core concepts that this book tries to touch, then you won't have any problem passing this exam. (and this exam isn't that hard anyway!)Good luck,

Good information, not quite enough as an only resource
I can't say this is a bad book, but after passing my exam I must say that if I would have use this as my only resource I wouldn't have acomplished that goal.This book could be enough only for VERY experienced developers using Visual Basic, and especially in distributed environments, who are already comfortable using MTS and working with SQL Server. But other people who know Visual Basic, feel they could get certified, BUT haven't got loads of experience, like myself, should get other books, I used MCSD in a Nutshell and believe me that book is awsome. In a few words, if you've got money to spare, get this book is not so bad, but if you really need efficient study material, or good reference items, there are better sources around here.
