3.0 out of 5 stars
Great Intro to VC++, Too vague for exam?,
By Reader (Newfoundland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Desktop Applications with Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 MCSD Training Kit (Paperback)
I've read the book and done most of the exercises. I am using Windows NT server 4.0 so I had none of the problems described by a previous reader. However I do not have access to Visual Source Safe since this is shipped with the Enterprise edition and I am using professional edition.Content: Appears to cover all the topics required for exam 70-016. However, having previously written and passed exam 70-024 (MFC) I would speculate that the book does not go into the detail necessary for the live microsoft exam. My feeling is that you will need much more material/experience than this book provides. Also the test software provides only 20 questions. All tests consist of the same questions in different orders! Quality: I have found many typos and places where descriptions do not agree exactly with code. This is not too much of a problem for anyone experienced with VC++. However, it would be quite confusing for someone new. Seems like book was put together in a hurry. Summary: I think this book will provide an excellent beginning point and a good overview of things needed for the exam. I am planning to write exam 70-016 in a couple of weeks. I'll report then how well book correlates with exam.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Good, but not exceptional,
By Kurt Wagner (Phoenix, AZ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Desktop Applications with Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 MCSD Training Kit (Paperback)
I bought this book with no idea of what to expect on the exam. I have since taken the 70-016 exam and passed it. I have two years of experience with Visual C++ and MFC but had never used COM.Overall I feel that this book did a good job of giving a general overview of the material on the test. A warning though, you will need to know more about COM than this book alone covers. I also purchased the Exam Cram book for this exam and was very pleased with it. ( I also read the first five chapters of The COM / COM+ Primer and it cleared up a lot of COM issues for me ) For any one who can afford it I would highly recommend the practice exams that can be purchased from Trancender.

Full of Typos,
By Enzo (ID) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Desktop Applications with Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 MCSD Training Kit (Paperback)
I'm going through this book and I'm on page 232. So far this book has contained many typos. In one place they had the code swapped between two different member functions. Also, class names are often wrong. The other comment I have is that you will definately need to suppliment the material in this book with reading from another book like Programming Windows With MFC which is an excellent book. I think the book is good in that it shows you the type of information you are expected to learn at this level, but the typos are annoying.
