1.0 out of 5 stars Book is not for a beginner, December 27, 2010

This review is from: Project 2010 Bible (Bible (Wiley)) (Paperback)

I purchased this book because of a previous book I had purchased called the AutoCAD 2008 Bible. With the AutoCAD 2008 Bible I was able to teach myself AutoCAD while working through a project from start to finish. Not so with this book. I was not even able to make it through chapter 3 before I had to put it on the bookshelf. The book seems to only be a feature list which may be helpful if you are in the middle of a project and get stuck. The book is just pages and pages of information with not very much to do. It may have you open a tab in Project and then explain every single option in that tab. This book may become a valuable addition to my library after I find another book to learn Project 2010 from. I highly recommend beginners to Project do not waste their money on this book.
