Title: MCSD Visual C++ 6 Distributed Exam Cram (Exam: 70-015) by James Lacey, James M. Lacey ISBN: 1-57610-372-2 Publisher: Coriolis Group Books Pub. Date: 19 January, 2000 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $29.99 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.17 (6 reviews)

Summary: Very good coverage of the exam
Comment: I just passed the 70-015 exam, after reading (only) this book. It has quite a lot of detail, despite the small size.
Most topis are well covered, but some are a little thin. COM is one of these, but after all it _is_ a huge topic, and even most COM-only books don't cover it that well. MTS, particularly security is not covered in enough detail. I had to guess on some MTS questions during the exam that I thought should have been mentioned in the book.
Overall, this book is quite comprehensive, I managed to write over 180(!) pages of notes from it. With it, and some help from the MSDN documentation (and, of course, some braindumps) you should be well prepared for the exam.
Good luck! :)

Summary: Good reference
Comment: I don't know if this book is a good prep for the test. I haven't taken it. It is, however, a very good reference book. When I need to know how to do something, I constantly find myself turning to this book. It gives you a good level of detail in a very short space.

Summary: Best Book Available to Prepare for the VC++ 6 Distributed Ex
Comment: I recently passed both the Visual C++ 6 Desktop & Visual C++ 6 Distributed Exams in one month using Mr. Lacey's exam cram books. I can't tell you how impressed I am with the quality of the material he (and the team at Coriolis) put together for the cram guides. I purchased "study guides" from two other publishers that did not cover the material in 1/10th the depth that these "cram guides" covered the material.
I have to agree that the coverage of COM and Aggregation are about as good as you can can get. I have been recommending his coverage of COM to co-workers who are just beginning with COM and want a clear, consise overview of what COM is all about.
I found the material recommended in the "Need To Know More?" sections to be invaluable. I believe his recommendations to be the best material available on each topic.
For the Distributed exam I didn't even bother buying anything but the Coriolis cram guide for the exam and one of the database books recommened in the "Need To Know More?" recommendations.
I've probably read 30 computer-related technical books in the last 5 years. I've read four that I was actually impressed with--two of those four books are Mr. Lacey's. The books were useful, accurate and well-written.
Truly excellent!
