3.0 out of 5 stars Not an easy book to follow, March 20, 2008

By	Book Worm (Olathe, KS) - See all my reviews

As someone new to MS Project Server, I am expecting a book which can teach me step by step with screenshots and descriptions matching. This book is not. It seems the author knows where to go, but not enough screenshots to support his words. He did not specificly say in the writing which screen he is talking about. As a reader I have to guess if it is this view, or that view. Also the authors did not provide emails or a website where further help will be provided, so the readers have no way to ask questions to clarify things talked in the book. I am in the middle of reading the book and hoping I don't have to buy another Project Server book after I am done. The title of the book says "the complete reference", I doubt it does what it says.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great reference for Project Server 2007, September 29, 2008

I found this book to be a great reference if you are implementing Project Server 2007. It's not full of fluff and large text.

I have read a great deal of this book and highly recommend it. It is very informative and has lots of screen shots to help you through the process being described. It well written and takes you step by step from installation thru using the application in your setup. A must read if you are considering Microsoft Office Project Server 2007 for your Company, Division or Department.
