If you develop software in TopSpeed or Clarion, there isn't a lot a material out there to help you learn. The book covers Clarion for Windows 2.0. You might be able to adapt some of the material in this book to Clarion for Windows 4.0 or Clarion for Windows 5.0. You will not find any help on the ABC Templates or using OOP. This book does have quite a few errors but since reference material for Clarion is very rare, you must overlook them. This book will not help solve any real world issues that you may encounter but may help with some minor issues or how-to-do things. I spent 6 1/2 years developing with Clarion and everyday seemed to be a headache but I am thankful for the "For Dummies" people (Tom Moseley and Jim Defabia) for writing this book. Without it, I would have been totally lost. (I know, some people think that I am totally lost anyway!!!)

Clarion for Windows is one of the best IDE.
Clarion is the worst to give some useful hints
for new user. The book "Learning Clarion" is
"ecxeptional" f.a. the parts of the describing
the "object-orientation" - this is truly rubbish.
Just imagine the new user reading it. The other
books of Clarion are only "Encyclopedias" with
not much use.A new edition of The book "Clarion
for Windows For Dummies" should be in every Clar-
ion-Package sold for new users or better to buy
other "IDE" sytems.
