Lamit's learn-by-doing approach to using Pro/Engineer 2000i instructs readers in how to use Pro/Engineer software in twenty-two lessons. Project-based lessons incrementally introduce users to a new set of commands and concepts that are applied to parts, assemblies, or drawings - providing both new and experienced Pro/Engineer users with customizable information that they can tailor to their skill level.

Presently I live and work in the San Jose, California area- see work bio at bottom.
My main activity outside of work activity is writing books (35 and counting). Not very lucrative but I have been at it since 1978 and can't seem to stop. __________________________________ Also see: walkingfishbooks.com I write childrens books and journals for outdoor activities. An educator for almost 40 years, Gary Lamit has taught second grade through university and has published over 30 books on a variety of subjects. Married with grown kids, he currently teaches at a community college. He spends considerable time reading children's books to his pre-school extended-family members, whose number seem to increase every few months!

This review is from: Pro/ENGINEER 2000i (Paperback)
This book will take a novice user through the steps required to set a course toward full use of the application. I highly recommend this text to anyone studying Pro/E. Unless you want to spend thousands for the training software this IS the way to go!

This review is from: Pro/ENGINEER 2000i (Paperback)
I would recommend this book to anyone who would like a little more insight into ProE than some of the other texts that are available. Mr Lamit brings you into the set-up of the user interface, and other areas of configuration that some of the other tutorials do not. Although I found it was initially a little more difficult to follow than some of the other texts, (which may just be my own fault), because of the amount of information presented to the reader, once I realized how the book was formatted and when to actually execute the commands it became clear that this is an excellent book. I am still working my way through it and am learning something new every time I use it. Thanks LGL. Andrew LeRoy, Mn.
