Look no further. This is the book to get if you want to learn Revit from the get-go. Unlike other books that cost twice as much and are purely theoritical this book takes you into the driver's seat where you will get your hands on the steering wheel. You will get "down and dirty" going from chapter to chapter in a logical progression as you "build" (in Revit you build, not draw)a five story office building. My suggestion to anyone wishing to really learn the program is to "build" your own project right next to the office building. This way you can try out the various skills as you acquire them on something that is truely your own and therefore boost your self-confidence. You can't go wrong with this book.
