"Best book for BT beginner" - by HEH on 28-APR-2011
Reviewer Rating: 1 star rating2 star rating3 star rating4 star rating5 star rating
I've reviewed a few other books, and this one is the only one helped me to get on my feet as the beginner. Its projects are simple but covers important tools and concepts that's crucial to beginners. Although I'm using BT2010/VS2010 and this book is written for older version, most of the information provided in this book is still applicable. A few areas have been changed like HAT tool is no longer available in BT2009 and later, so I had to search on Online Help Doc to find the new tool (BT Tracking Database). Other than that, I pretty much got through the exercises successfully and learned a lot. This books is awesome and helped me to start using BT.

I wish there's an update version of this book for BT2010 (or maybe there is!) and there's a Intermediate-level of this book to extend the education.
