Microsoft has recently revamped its MCSD program. In order to obtain their MCSD, candidates are required to pass four exams-three core exams and one elective exam. All of the core exams are new tests as are many of the electives. Microsoft is putting a huge push behind increasing the number of MCSDs worldwide, and will be putting a significant marketing effort behind the MCSD program. Given the increased importance of the MCSD program to Microsoft's certification strategy, the popularity of the new VB 6 exams, and the increasing interest in the MCSD program, the MCSD arena will be attracting new exam candidates over the next year. In addition to attracting new exam candidates, existing MCSDs will also be updating their certifications to cover the newly released exams. Candidates are in need of complete, concise, inexpensive study guides to fully prepare them to pass the MCSD exams. This book is the answer.

Visual Basic is a versatile language - accessible to those seeking to enter the world of programming, yet powerful enough to support the coding of complex distributed applications. Beginning Visual Basic 6 Application Development is aimed at the programmer who is familiar enough with VB to want to make the transition from building small applications to coding business level software solutions. The book covers the conceptual and practical implications of application development by illustrating, step-by-step, how to design, implement, and deploy, a fully functional sophisticated application based on an online banking scenario. It deals with the wide variety of topics required to bring such a project to fruition, such as software architecture and project planning, business requirement analysis and software design methodologies, and database design and coding components for use in a transactional environment. Of course to support such work a number of technologies need to be employed and consequently the book includes coverage of UML, COM, MTS, ADO, and SQL. 
 The power of the coding approach is fully demonstrated in the final chapters of the book when the book shows how to Web-enable the application through use of ASP and facilitate inter-application communication through XML.
