Better Than I Expected,

This review is from: Mastering Crystal Reports Made Easy Training Tutorial v. 11 (XI), 10 & 9 - How to use Crystal Video e Book Manual Guide. Even dummies can learn from this total CD for everyone, with Introductory - Advanced material from Professor Joe (CD-ROM)
When I found out that I had to learn how to use Crystal Reports, I knew that I wanted to learn it either in a formal classroom setting or by video. When I saw this CD-Rom was available and at an amazingly reasonable price (let's face it, if you buy a book, it would cost the same price or more), I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. The lessons assume that you don't know anything about Crystal Reports (literally nothing) and starts off by introducing you to the Crystal Reports environment, its menus/toolbars/windows and then goes into how to create data connections and a basic report in easy to follow and logical sequence. While I agree with one reviewer that it doesn't go into real detail in the instruction, it does however, go into it enough where you could feel comfortable to at least begin to use the features of Crystal Reports to build a report. Completing all the lessons definitely won't make you "an expert level" user but it does take quite a bit of "the edge off" of the intimidation of learning what a number of my co-workers described as a difficult program to learn. Also it will teach you enough to become at least a competent user which can be enough to encourage you to become an expert through experience and additional instruction from other sources. You're probably wondering if I felt so positive about it why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, it was because I felt there were a few instances where the instructor explained something where I wished he could have explained it either differently or have a visual example of it.Even so, I highly recommend this product if you are a complete novice and learn better from video media than text media. One comment about Crystal Reports for the complete novice: a friend of mine told me since I was very comfortable with using PowerPoint, then I should have no problem with working in the Crystal Reports environment, I found this to be true. Crystal Reports has a very visual environment made for "building" reports and if you are comfortable and like working with that, then you are ahead of the game.

Pretty lame, Milhouse...,

I had high hopes for this video tutorial, and am left quite disappointed. The topics covered are done in brief, five minute (+/-) vignettes with very limited explanation of the data and how it relates to the feature being discussed. Essentially, you receive narration on what you see (i.e.: "now, I'll press this button and we can see that this feature opens...").More a short guided tour of the software than anything leaning toward genuine instruction / explanation. Crystal Reports is a very powerful analytical tool, and this group of videos only serves to scratch the surface in a very brief, confusing way. If you expect to come away with anything more than only the most spotty and limited understanding of CR, keep looking.

This tutorial is great. it is setup to train the very beginner to the advanced. someone that has not used a lot of windows applications will be able to follow the tutorial very well.for the more advanced windows application person, the first part may be a little boring but you can advanced ahead until you get to your knowledge base level. great training material
