5.0 out of 5 stars A Must-Have for the RoboHelp Certification exam, July 31, 2002
By 
This review is from: Essentials of RoboHelp HTML 2002 (Spiral-bound)
I purchased this book to familiarize myself with RoboHelp 2002 in preparation for the RoboHelp Certified Professional exam (I use version 9). I can't say enough about the quality and value of this book -- it's terrific! The text and exercises are very easy to understand, and really help build skills. I finished the book confident that I could make the most of the tools and features in RoboHelp 2002.

NOTE: Apparently, eHelp wouldn't let the author include much information on the uses and applications of the different outputs. The exam includes a disproportionate number of questions on WebHelp, and even JavaHelp and OracleHelp. If you're buying this book to prep for the exam, be sure to supplement this excellent resource with the information in the RoboHelp Help files.

3.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy if you have ever made a help file, April 27, 2002
This review is from: Essentials of RoboHelp HTML 2002 (Spiral-bound)
I bought this book because I moved from Forehelp to Robohelp. If you have ever created a help file you absolutely don't need this book. It is very general and basic. The Robohelp tutorial is just fine for learning their product.

Why did I buy the book? Simply because Robohelp only gives you a tutorial. I need to know more about the what to do with all the files it produces. How can I get rid of that stupid logo? And lots of other questions when dealing with the web server and other web documents.

You won't find technical information in this book. But if you have never created help files, it is an excellent book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just What I Needed, June 25, 2002
This review is from: Essentials of RoboHelp HTML 2002 (Spiral-bound)
They came by and said "Here's the RoboHelp software," as they dropped the brand-new, unopened box of RoboHelp software on my desk. "How soon can we have the help files?"

I found The Essentials of RoboHelp HTML 2002 by Kevin Siegel at Amazon and bought it.

This is a GREAT book!

The exercises are clear, concise, light-hearted and fun. Most of all, they are relevant to my goals with this software package, which was new to me.

For each major topic, there is a brief explanation of functionality followed immediately by a student activity with each step clearly outlined. Then there is a confidence check to validate my learning. It uses the "3 Tell 'Ems." Tell 'em what you're gonna tell 'em (an overview). Tell 'em (the student activity) and then tell 'em what you told 'em (the confidence check.) I particularly like the Confidence Check, which led me back to reality and my goals with RoboHelp HTML 2002.

This book is worth every penny.
