This review is from: Apple Pro Training Series: Shake 4 Quick-Reference Guide (Paperback)
This is a great quick way to understand the basic functions of the various nodes in shake esp when you are new to the software. If you want to dig through the 1000 page user manual when your learning the basics, go ahead, but if you to cut the fat and get a basic understanding this book is right for you.

By nicola (sf, ca) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Apple Pro Training Series: Shake 4 Quick-Reference Guide (Paperback)
An expensive but necessary little book. There's really nothing else on the market that shows expanded views of the (deep, very deep) Shake interface. Damian Allen ought to be commended for so clearly mentioning on page 3 how the Unix-based browser and $HOME works. I couldn't find my desktop in Shake till he explained it and had nobody to ask. Thanks! Looking forward to Allen's next Pro Training volume.
