5.0 out of 5 stars Full and Practical, May 16, 2007

By	Raul A. Palacios Araos "Ratamahata" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Once I get a Step by Step series book, and its operating model is just what you need if you start from scratch or you're an advanced specialist looking for updates. Very precise and clear explanations and companion CD with samples files for practicing just rocks!, you have the entire scenario and just need to get creative to escalate your neverending questions to the sample scenario, which is just as clear to see as on the field.
2007 version is just what I spected from the book, covering every topic from basic use to advanced control and tracking and integration with Project Server. You can notice PMI orientation in product, and that's quite good worked on the book.
I missed some information regarding some intelligence moved from Office Project to PWA (Server), like enterprise fields and server settings (well I supposed I'll get new stuff from the next MOC for Project Server)

If you want to solve questions regarding the use of the product, or maybe you're trying to get quite the expertise for a terrific project management,this book will do the job

5.0 out of 5 stars A Project Stroll, November 22, 2007

By	J. Medearis - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This has been a great book for learning Project 2007. If you already know Project, it does a great job of providing review material, guiding you away from unnecessary chapters. If you have never really spent time with Project, this book does a very good job of walking you through, Step by Step, aspects and capabilities of Project, as well as exposing you to solid project management practices.

5.0 out of 5 stars MS Office Project 2007, September 21, 2007

By	Z. Hunter "Life-long Learner" (Fremont, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this book because it was recommended for an online-college course that I am taking. I couldn't believe that the same book was much higher in price on several other websites and how affordable it was to get through Amazon. The book itself is excellent as it gives step-by-step directions on how to use the project. It is an excellent resource and very easy to use. I would recommend this book to anyone seeking detailed, but easy to understand directions regarding the product it is designed for.
