I bought this as a college textbook and couldn't survive the class without it. It's very easy to understand, and Finale is by far the most user-friendly and versatle music notation program...I just wish it weren't so expensive.

As a teacher of electronic music and a Finale user since 1992, I have been looking for a good, well-written and reasonably priced text on Finale for my students, other than the online documentation (which is actually not so bad in of itself). This...

I began to read with great anticipation but was sorely disappointed. There were too many errors in the 2000 edition, which apparently had been revised in a hurry to catch up with the software upgrade. Many of the existing shortcuts were either...

The chapter titles sound very interesting but the contents do not provide enough practical information.

This book has so far given me all the information I've
needed to write usable GUIs. However, I share the concern
expressed by other reviewers that the the titles 'Learning
Perl/Tk' and 'Mastering Perl/Tk' can be misleading....

The only reason you would want to buy this book is if you want to modify an existing perl/tk program. Even then, I do not recommend buying it.

Perl/tk is discontinued!!!!!! ActivePerl now uses the package tkx to bridge tk and perl....

This book provides a lot of information about Perl/Tk, but in a somewhat scattered fashion, making true mastery of the subject an intensive process. It is an excellent learning tool, but the reader should be aware that there is much to learn...

I am new to Maya and currently the version available for free download is version 8.5. Since I have dial-up internet access at home, I decided to buy this book as it was rather cheap and it provides a cd with the older free version. The book is...

I question whether anyone praising this book has actually gone through it exercise by exercise. You get stonewalled on a regular basis by botchy instructions. The wording is often poor, crucial steps are omitted, and many of the diagrams are...

I am a fairly computer savvy person working at one of the world's largest software companies, and as a published author myself I can say that this book absolutely blows (for beginners).

I bought it last year sometime (2006?) and I was...

The book aims at a cut above a complete beginner to the making of web pages. There's not much time wasted over explaining the basic HTML tags and how to put them together into a simple page. Instead, the book moves right along. Into more advanced...

This is a very accessible introduction to data structures and algorithms in Perl. It doesn't go into a lot of theory, it isn't going to answer your computer science homework, but it does give a good feel for the various applications of algorithm...

As a guy ( engineer not computer expert ) who uses computers everyday to help his research, I would steer you away from using Perl for any task involving mathematical concepts more complicated than addition/subtraction/multiplication and...

If you've dived in to podcasting, and you've created your own content, the next obvious step is to attract a wider audience. This book does a superlative job in providing practical advice for new podcasters in search of more listeners. If you're...

If you think that interviewing 100 other podcasters and asking them how THEY podcast makes you a "master", then you'll probably agree that this is a good book. But if you simply visit author Rob Walch's website, you can listen to these podcast...

This book was purchased for my daughter, an art major. She has looked at it in detail and determined that it doesn't quite serve her purposes. She is interested in game design and felt that there was a limited amount of examples. She did agree...

I have been so impressed with this book so far, though I'm just through Chapter 2. I am a relative beginner, so Chapter 1 was very important and extremely useful background for me. I already feel in 2 Chapters that I have learned a great deal of...

Disclaimer: While I was a contributor to the first edition, I have no connection to the second edition. Therefore I believe I can speak objectively about this work. I am a computer animator and educator teaching at the college level for the past...

I have reviewed this book on several occasions looking for items that could help me do some scenes. I have found that it does very little to help you produce any of the many renders that are displayed. If you are looked for a step-by-step...
