"Great basic resource for rapid startup." - by Mike on 13-JAN-2010

I have enjoyed the Classroom in a Book series quite a bit.  I started using the Dreamweaver and InDesign versions earlier last year.

Of all of the the CIB books I have reviewed, this one comes with solid marks.  It enabled me to quickly master functions in a 'real-life" progression of tasks.  It rapidly covers the "how-to" functions.

It does not spend alot of time on artistic merit and theory, rather, it allows you to observe results and and teaches some best practices.  I would recommend this book for beginners, with some core PC compentcy.

As I am not an advance user, I cannot comment on its suitablity.

PROS
- Solid, applicable content.
- Complete examples.

CONS -
- Some exercises and screens need more complete explanation.
