Customer Reviews

Not worth the price.
The "tutorial" as presented by this book is somewhat difficult to follow. Despite the "Your Turn" prompts, the narrative seems to suggest that the reader should be doing something before getting to the exercise itself. The graphics that are displayed often do not follow the instructions for the exercise, so there is little reinforcement. Furthermore, the "Your Turn" instructions are poorly organized - often mixing hints with actual action commands. Given some time, one can eventually figure out what is supposed to happen on the screen, but why should the reader have to struggle? If you are going to spend nearly $60 on a book, look somewhere else. This has been a very disappointing purchase.

okay but needs editorial work
This book is more of a tutorial than a reference book--the only way to learn procedures is to find the related example and work through it. There are lots of useful widgets on the CD. I was disappointed in the book's production. It looked like it was printed directly from an MS Word file and contained numerous egregious typos and other problems, all of which made me feel cheated after paying $46 for such a thin volume.

not that bad.
not that specific enough .i need to do my thesis
