Study guides aren't intended to be entertaining so you won't be surprised to hear MCSD In A Nutshell, aimed at VB6 exams, is a book the majority would pay to avoid reading.Foxall assumes you are a competent VB programmer though your work has involved using only a few of the vast range of Microsoft technologies accessible to VB. His aim is to familiarise you with the whole technology sweep, their application and usage.As with most other certifications, an MCSD is mainly multiple choice questions with a little programming thrown in. What little code exists is only there to demonstrate the way a technology is accessed and tends to be just a line or two. Instead Foxall concentrates on covering those Microsoft technologies you must know in order to pass the exam. Naturally, extensive MCSD-style sample questions check you've understood each section.In fact most of the book consists of a brain-achingly fast review of any Microsoft technology accessible via VB; including the obscure--for example, ActiveX documents. Just because hardly anyone uses a particular MS technology doesn't mean you aren't expected to understand it. One of the reasons MCSDs exist is to create a pool of people Microsoft can depend on to know all of VB's possibilities--and hopefully use them in projects.Overall, one of the better books available for wannabe MCSDs and one of the few which can be considered truly portable. --Steve Patient
