I have paid lots more for other software learning books only to be left disappointed and feeling ripped off. That is so not that case here.
The key things I like about the book are:
- Full color, with lots of illustrations
- Written for the beginner and the advanced user
- Helps build knowledge and confidence without insulting your intelligence
- Full of tips and tricks
- Is a reference book as well as a learning tool
If you are using Pioneer or Esprit some of the features talked about in the book aren't available. However, I think you can download the PLE version for free to be able to access those features and get even more from from the book.
Another great thing is that the book fits nicely in with the hours and hours of additional free training material at the [...]website. Which, I strongly recommend you go check out.
