Covered here are both the Desktop and Distributed exams in one book. Visual FoxPro certification is the way to present contract customers and employers with an objective assessment of one's technical skills as Visual FoxPro developer. Microsoft certification also provides contract customers and employers with additional confidence in their decision to contract with, or hire developers as they solve business problems and move forward in our data-driven, digital economy. Microsoft has moved their certification emphasis from knowledge assessment to measuring real-life skills. This study guide will assist developers in efficient, focused, VFP certification exam preparation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pass the MCP exam on the first try!, June 4, 2002

This review is from: Visual FoxPro Certification Exams Study Guide (Paperback)

Thanks to the authors and editor, I passed the MCP exam the first time I took it. Although it's relatively short (166 pp.), it is *densely* packed with an excellent overview of everything you'll need to know to pass the exam. The "Further reading" section at the end of each chapter helped me focus my preparation time by pointing me to specific chapters of other helpful books from Hentzenwerke Publishing and other publishers as well as to various articles and URLs at Microsoft's web site.

If you would like to pass the MCP exam the first time (and save money by not having to re-take the exam), buy and read this book now!

4.0 out of 5 stars Points you in the right direction, June 3, 2002

This review is from: Visual FoxPro Certification Exams Study Guide (Paperback)

This book goes over the topics that you need to know for certification in a straight forward manner. Your level of knowledge will determine how much of the suggested 'further reading' you will need to do. If you are quite experienced then you should be able to pass by just reading this book (and maybe brush up on VSS). There isn't much else out there to use as a study guide, so it makes this book that much more valuable.

4.0 out of 5 stars An important resource, March 29, 2002

By 

David Foderick (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Visual FoxPro Certification Exams Study Guide (Paperback)

For anyone who wants to take the Visual FoxPro certification exams, there are scant few resources available that are specifcally targeted to helping you pass the exams. No Transacender. No Exam Cram. Thats what makes this book so valuable. The book is a study guide. It will give you a overview of the main topics that are covered on the exams an give you references to where you can learn more. You will have to supplement this book by researching the references and using your experience. The dicussions on normalization and debugging apps were particularly good. In all, there is a huge void for anyone studying for VFP certification which this book helps fill.
