2.0 out of 5 stars Great title - poorly written, August 10, 2007

This review is from: Visualizing Information with Microsoft® Office Visio® 2007 (Paperback)
I want you to think of the stereo typical college level professor who drones on while writing on the chalk board. Is the professor dumb? Of course not. Does he lack the ability to teach? Yes. This author portrays himself as a user who got tired of depending on IT for meaningful reports. I see this author as a geek's geek. He can quote Visual Basic in his sleep and does so throughout this text. However, this author lacks perspective. He thinks we all just take one look at his VB and a 100 watt light bulb pops-up over our heads. And just like a professor he drones on in his book without approaching a subject from a different perspective. If he's so good at Visio - why didn't he include example diagrams? Just to clarify - I have no problem with Visio books going into VB - my problem is when they don't approach the subject from multiple perspectives to reach more hearts and minds.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to read, lots of good info, August 14, 2007

This review is from: Visualizing Information with Microsoft® Office Visio® 2007 (Paperback)
I enjoyed the author's casual conversational tone through much of the book. It had a lot of good info, some of which was valuable if you were sitting at a keyboard and followed along step-by-step. The author provides a download site for the code within the book, which is a nice alternative to those book CDs that always end up lost.

As a reference, the text wasn't perfect. I think it was really designed to be read rather than thumbed through.

4.0 out of 5 stars Helpful for people with VBA experiece, not so much for others, May 11, 2009
This review is from: Visualizing Information with Microsoft® Office Visio® 2007 (Paperback)
This book is great if you have previous programming experience. For someone with none, the sample scripts are hard to understand as there is no explanation for functions, variables, syntaxes, etc. Wish the book title or description clearly stated "Smart Diagrams for VBA-savvy Business Users" . Or the author would provide more insight into how the scripts work, so that your average business user can apply the examples to their own needs.
