Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Accuracy: 5 of 5. I have yet to come across a procedural error in either the body text or the hands-on exercises.
Usability: 4.5 of 5. The hands-on exercises assume very little on the part of the user and are written clearly. Some of the concepts explained in the text do make assumptions, over which I have occasionally stumbled. However, the most important thing is excellent hands-on exercises; this is why I still rate the usability as high.
Design: 5 of 5. The design flow of the concepts covered in the book work well. I rarely find myself wondering why a certain concept or topic wasn't introduced in an earlier chapter.
Presentation: 3 of 5. For anyone who regularly browses online forums, you will understand when I say that the presentation of information in the book is something like a wall of text. The paragraphs are too chunky and stuffed together. The pictorial elements used are helpful to the reader but the cramped and varying lay-out often obfuscate, at first glance, their purpose.
Overall: 4 of 5. Students will find it worth purchasing, as will anyone who is interested in its topics. Teachers, for the love of all that is good, PLEASE be careful when using this book to create PowerPoint lectures. It is too easy to simply pull straight from the text, and while this may reduce impact on your time, your students will not enjoy 75 slides of content over 2 hours that they could have read from the book in approx. 40 minutes.
