Customer Reviews

Good for the basics.

I needed to learn the basics of MS-Project. This book gave me the knowledge needed to get the job done. It should be noted though that this book really is just the basics, if you are looking for a solid reference to Project then you should look elsewhere.

Quick and Easy to Understand

Excellent book for both "newbe's" and experienced readers. Text is presented in a very structured and logical format. Book also contains some very good references as related to the Profession of Project Management both texts and sites.

Great for beginners

This is the perfect book for someone just starting out on Project 98 and would like to read in a step by step lesson format. One will learn the fundamentals, but this is not the place to look for troubleshooting or more advanced techniques. For that, I highly suggest Project 98 Bible by Nancy Stevenson.

Catapult is Microsoft

Catapult apparently is a subsidiary to Microsoft. Good book. Follows the same approach (and coincidentally? ) the same example (moving a business) as Que's MS Project 4.0 book from about 1993--and this is the only book I have seen since then that tops Que's original. My main gripe is that the Introduction points to a Microsoft certification exam you can take and there is no such exam--makes you wonder. But not surprised by this inconsistency as the Microsoft Project 98 product itself has a bit of a "not all together" feeling to it, as if it were programmed by multiple teams in multiple countries--that didn't always talk together (ie. how many different ways can you implement the calendar controls folks? ). But for the price and features, you can't beat Project98 and this book will have you using it effectively. If you want to go beyond this, look for Tim Pyron's books on Project98. Pyron's books are poorly organized but contain tips and traps you wont find anywhere else.

A fine example of how a Self- Study text should be written

I am a Applications Software instructor for New Horizons Learning Centers and I haven't found a series of books as helpful as the Step by Step series...Great Aid to learning complex programs!
