This is THE Book for a future MCSD
I just passed the 70-176 exam yesterday. (bear with me, I am such a happy camper right now that I felt I should share the source of my success for those who are looking for good study materials) I have to give a huge amount of credit to the O'Reilly book MCSD in a Nutshell. The book is geared for the 70-176 and 70-175 exams. What I liked is that the book started off with the assumption that you know the basics of VB and you now want to get into the more meaty topics. It is very well written and digs deeply into COM Components and ActiveX Controls. Each Chapter has a summary at the beginning that lists the topics and which of the two exams they apply to. It also has little "side bars" throught the chapters on things you should remember for the exams. The Key Facts, review questions and exercises at the end of each chapter are also very appropriate.

I had also used the MCSD Training Kit from MS. That book was not nearly enough. MCSD in a Nutshell turned out to be a much better investment. Get it. You won't be disappointed.

The best single book available for the MCSD cert
I wouldn't advise anyone studying to pass Microsoft VB's 175 or 176 exams to use just one book. However, if someone needed my recommendation for only one book, Foxall's "MCSD in a Nutshell" would be it. Unlike many other MCSD books, Foxall doesn't spend any time insulting professional VB programmers with beginner VB details (which, believe it or not, is what some MCSD books do in their first chapters). On page 9, he's already describing how to display a pop-up menu during program runtime. He assumes that if you need a beginner's tutorial, you shouldn't even be thinking about these exams.

The book begins with a table dividing the skills & technologies tested on these two exams, the way every certification book should begin. Foxall's treatment of COM and ActiveX is outstanding. In fact, I learned more in the 38-page COM chapter than I did in all of Wrox's VB COM book. The chapters on "Packaging & Deployment" & "Visual SourceSafe" are also noteworthy, primarily because other books skimp on these topics while Microsoft still heavily tests on them.

A final note: people will be drawn to this book mainly for help passing the MCSD exams. Let's not downplay the usefulness of this book as an excellent Visual Basic resource for advanced VB programmers.

The Reviews were right!
I purchased this book because of all the positive reviews it got.And it seems that everyone that I read was a good review.
So,I started reading it the day I got it.I have only been through the first 3 chapters . I have already learned more about COM and three-tier applications,than any MS Press book I have read.I would have to say the author does and outstanding job at going in depth about topics.Also,he lets you know what is more then likey to show up on the exams.He's not one of those authors who just knows VB,he is actually MCSD certified.I think that has to say a whole lot about him and his experince.
I would say coming from someone who has only read 3 chapters of the book and giving it 5 stars.That should say enough about this book as a study guide or just to sharpen your skills as a VB Developer.I recommend this book for any VB Developer to add to his library.

NOTE:I dont recommend it if you are trying to learn VB ,that's probally not going to happen.
