I've bought Scott's Digital Photography books since version 7. This one tops them all and I've only had one evening to peruse the pages. I've been keeping up with video/written tutorials of CS3 but Scott, you've out done yourself my friend,...

This book is a joy to read, its quietly witty, very clear and simple. Right away I found useful suggestions which I will have my webmaster utilise! After all, the internet is where a lot of us are getting our business from now, so it is crucial...

Adobe has released the new upgrade for Photoshop CS3 and a new version called Photoshop CS3 Extended. Whether you get Photoshop as a single product or as part of the Adobe Creative Suite 3, this book by the Adobe Creative Team is the latest...

I was very disappointed to find that this book contained the exact same lessons as Adobe Photoshop CS2 Classroom in a book, modified slightly to allow for CS3's new features. I would expect that in a revision to a textbook but not in a training...

I know a thing or two about tutorials/manuals for I often test them as a beta-tester. The following comments are for all five of the CIBs. Yes, I have worked though each one.
As a bare start its ok but its just too much of a skimpy overview...

This book combines good humors, great examples, and in-depth knowledge of Design Patterns in such a way that makes learning fun. Being in the entertainment technology industry, I am intrigued by the Hollywood Principle and the home theater Facade...

Don't get me wrong! This is a very interesting book, but it just doesn't work for me. If you are anything like me, you love those good old serious books with less funny pictures. I find reading this book to be a waste of time because the style of...

I love graphics, as in explanatory graphics: arrows, UML diagrams, process diagrams combined with great written explanation. This book has it all. Add the examples and the pluses and minuses of design pattern usage, this book really comes through....

I pre-ordered this weeks before it was released, and it was well worth the wait! The authors know their stuff and communicate it well. Numerous screenshots accompany the excellent chapters on many topics. An excellent companion to Flight...

good information but was unable to download the tutorial flights into Flight Simulator X thus greatly limiting the advantages of this book. Jef Van West infored there are technical problems with some systems but I think the poroblem is more...

The authors do an excellent job of laying out basic computer concepts in easy format. Would recommend it. The other books on special software was not explaining the basics to me. I guess I expected too much.

I think this is a wonderful book. It helped me a lot since I am new to Apple products and their operating system. I recently bought a Mac Book Pro, and with the help of this publication, I have been able to enjoy my Mac. Id like to see one where...

This is a nice guide for new Mac users. It is practical in instructing how to use the new OSX Leopard Operating System from Mac. It also has some good hints and a some humor, too.

This textbook is a great, easy to understand and to follow tutorial. It is packed with step-by-step instructions and color pictures of the computer screen. The steps on the computer screen are even marked with arrows. I am taking my first GIS...

I am always reticient to give a poor or lukewarm review of a book, or to "damn it with faint praise", but this is not what I expected. Basically, a glorified user's manual/tutorial. It's great if you're a beginner who wants to get up to speed on...

A decent intro to ArcGIS, but contains a lot of fluff. If you have ArcGIS at work, the Getting Started With ArcGIS included with the documentation will just about cover what you want to know. It does not cover Spatial Analyst, 3D Analyst, or the...

Having been around Windows as long as Windows has been around, I know that I need two books on Windows Vista.

First I want something quick and easy. Something that will give me the overview that tells me simple things like, 'what...

This marks the ultimate... although not the Windows Vista Ultimate edition!... of Dummies titles gone wrong.

What began years ago, Dos for Dummies, has turned into a mish-mesh of topics that do not relate, do not connect, and do...

I did not find this as helpful or as easy as another book I have gotten. The illustrations are not so bad. There is just not enough of them. The directions are not really in step by step, with illustration and not easy to understand as my other...

Great Strategy in depth directions with full side quest guide and everything you need to play Final Fantasy X.

This guide book is well written at certain points, but terribly hole-filled at others. It's a great walk-through of the straight through and giving you an idea of what to do. However, if you're like me and like to completely dominate the final...

This is what I hate. After I bought the book, I found a really great website that gave me most of the information from the book.I thought "Why didn't I just go on the internet and get a few cheats!",since I only needed it for one part of the game....

I am really impressed with this book. It is one of the few web building books that I can actually understand. They give you good examples and explain things in a easy to understand way. I have some basic knowledge in Frontpage and am switching...
