5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely the BEST ! Relevantly Advanced Topics., March 13, 2000
By John W. Hutchison (Dayton, Ohio) - See all my reviews
I am Certified in VB 5.0 and am close to taking the VB 6.0 test. I have alot to learn, but this book is not for the beginner. I believe this book to be the best overall book for preparing for certification. I read the version 5 of this book and could not wait to read this one also. I will be teaching VB again in the Spring of 2000. I used the Diane Zak book from Course Technology for the Intro to VB. I would like to use this book also for the advanced class in VB. I can not say enough good about this book. With the right teacher, this book would be dynamite. I would like to get our college to switch to this book for the advance classes. I would start in chapter 1 and cover the entire book. I think there is enough material her for 2 quarters. I think that the topics are relevant and not just advanced. I can understand people who may not like this book. This book is not the easiest to read but I do not want an easy book. Number of pages read don't count on certification - only if you know the material. If you want an easier book to read, there are plenty. I recommend this book highly to anyone who will listen. This book also has a 'Teaching Tools' CD that is available from the publisher for an extra cost. This extra CD is pretty neat - it has ready made tests for students, tests that can be put on a network and administrated online, and teaching notes, over heads, and more. Great resource. Even if you are not going to teach, the instructor's notes are a great summary of the points you need to know for your certification. This book and extra CD is an awesome combination. Not for the faint of heart.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book but be aware that it is meant for a classroom, October 18, 2000
By Va shopper (Shenandoah Valley, VA USA) - See all my reviews
I purchased the book recently and enjoy the presentation of thematerial. One item to note, however, is that this book is meant for aclassroom environment. What this means is that there are samplequestions at the end of each chapter but SURPRISE no solutions. Thesolutions are contained in an instructors manual. This fact shouldhave been disclosed in the book's description so that I might havepurchased a diferent one.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT 957 Pages BOOK WITH CD, March 15, 2005
EXCELLENT 2000 Publish Date 957 Pages BOOK WITH CD ::: CAUTION : I am not certain, but there may be more than 1 edition of the same ISBN Number. The one I am commenting is the 957 page book 2000 Published with CD with PRIBNTED DATE 2000.

I congratualate Michael Ekedahl for the excellent work done in publishing this book through Course Technology. The Book also includes a CDROM 2000 pub date. The CD includes Transcender Certification Test Prep software.

To complete the chapters and the end of chapter excercise s in the book the accompanying CD has the data files needed. I would Follow the HELP FILES to copy them to your computer.

What I like most is the way the Chapers are arranged. Each chapter begins with a programming related problem that the reader would expect to come across in real world business, immediately followed by a demonstration of application necessary to slove the problem.

All of the teaching tools for the text are found in the instructor's resource kit available from Course Technology WEb-site www.coursetechnology.com and on the CDROM. I suggest you to contact Customer Service of Thomson Learning for most current and up-to-date information. Thomson Learning Customer Service 1-800-347-7707

2.0 out of 5 stars A bed time story
This book is definetly not useful for continuing to learn VB. I found it poorly written, boring, with various grammatical mistakes and vague examples that are not very practical.
