Customer Reviews

Good for newbies...

I bought this book not realizing it was for ED rather than ED2 which is what I have. There were a few parts that didn't apply to ED2 but once realized why things looked a bit off it was no big deal. For the most part the book and the accompanying files work well with ED2 also. I found this book extremely helpful in two ways... First, the book title says it all. It is literally a STEP-BY-STEP guide. Tons of pictures, sample files on CD, detailed explanations leaving virtually no way to get things wrong. Second, having never worked with vector graphics, this book did a great job making things crystal clear as far as introductions go. Excellent way to familiarize yourself with a new GUI and new concepts. I am very pleased with this book.

Great Book!

I purchased this with Expression Studio and I am glad I did. The Step By Step approach makes it easy to learn. I used the e-book included on the DVD on one monitor and Expresion Design on the other and walked thought all the exercises. It doesn't cover everything, but it enough to get you started using this tool.

This is a super book for a good look at the tools in this program.

Could be better

I bought this book for the Training disk. Unfortunately, it is a DVD, not a CD. My computer does not have a DVD drive in it and Microsoft will not provide a replacement disk in the CD format. Come on Microsoft, certainly you must realize that there are still a great many people out here that do not have systems that are totally new. The cost of duplicating these in a different format is too inexpensive to fail in that vital PR service. Also, thought book took the wrong approach to teaching. It talks from the point of creating mistakes and then teach how to fix them. Lets just do it right the first time. The book 'Plain & Simple' taught how to do it right, but THEN how to track down mistakes.
