I have been using webex for training my students online, but always used only basic functionalites. I always thought myself as smart enough for what I need to do online. One of my friend was reading it and I just skimmed through. Found interesting and bought a copy. Trust me..."Reading this dummies book will make you an expert in webex".

I've used WebEx at my company for 2 years. My wife bought me this book even though I thought I didn't need it. It's awesome. It's a quick read, and taught me several ways my company and I could use WebEx that I didn't even think of. I just bought copies for my whole project team, our director of Support, IT and Training.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect! Just What I Needed., March 21, 2005

This review is from: WebEx Web Meetings For Dummies (Paperback)

This book was great. I'm new to WebEx, in fact new to web conferencing. I was a little intimidated at first, but got through my first few web conferences without any problems. (The Webex interface is really simple and intuitive.) What this book did was empower me with the knowledge of how to run really effective meetings online. Yes, it covers the basics well, but the real value was in learning all the additional capabilities Webex has available. For example, I learned about the integrated audio conferencing controls, the simple integration with outlook and some awesome video conferencing capabilities. As with all the Dummies book, its a quick read (gotta love the big font size and pictures).

I recommend this book to anyone who has purchsed Webex or is is close to a web conferencing purchase.
