Not worth the time,

This review is from: SolidWorks 2009 Fundamentals Training (DVD-ROM)
I received a copy of this product, and I now understand why one of their own employees wrote a positive five star review for the product. They would be the ONLY ones.
The produce description states, "Lessons at Inspirtech are delivered in a unique hybrid approach to highlight the advantages of both download and streaming lesson formats" For people that do not have access to a high speed fiber connection, forget the streaming lesson format! Their description also states, "For users who wish to access training on the go a DVD-Rom Edition is also available." I've had nothing but trouble running the DVD edition on my laptop with Visa or my desktop with Windows Professional XP SP2.1. What does it run on? I'm looking for something that is quick, easy and informative to learn all aspects of SolidWorks and its many tools in a DVD form. I'm still looking...

I saw it and I was very disappointed. Not worth the time or money. Spend your money with SolidsProfessor if you want a DVD for Solidworks.
Buyer beware! look at the reviews. Each time there is a poor review a good review is written with in a day or two. Two reviews were written by the company. Does this tell you anything about the product?

Good primer,
By Arthur (Mountain View, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: SolidWorks 2009 Fundamentals Training (DVD-ROM)
I went through the videos quickly and after a couple days was able to create 3D objects that were useful to me. Obvious with a product that's all of one DVD, it has limited scope, but I found it rather enjoyable to watch. The narrator goes through all the exercises slow enough where you won't feel overwhelmed, though at times I felt he was going too slowly since he kept opening up files in front of us and that was unnecessary -- it only took an extra 10 seconds or so each time (like 18 total toal times), but it made it feel slower. On the plus side, all the repeating and such drilled home the major points. He also goes through tips while going through the instructions and those were good.
For some reason though, you can't resize your video larger, but if you just copy the flash files from the DVD itself (by going into the contents of the DVD), you can play the files in your browser and it's big. Towards the end, he really just glosses over the harder stuff, but this video is just a primer so you really can't expect to be a total solidworks wizard afterwards. You probably can expect to be competent with practice though. If you're making a choice between a book and a video, know that both are helpful in different ways. With books, they're probably more comprehensive. Videos are like having someone there with you, so it was faster for me to learn by watching the videos. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video is worth 10,000 words. All in all I liked it and thought it was worth it.
