Summary: LIKE A PEN WITHOUT INK
Review: I bought this book because it had supporting files which you could download from the website to work through the projects. However, the files were created with the beta version of the software and will not open in the full release version of Project 2000. So in other words you will not be able to do the exercises unless you are wanting to do allot of typing which in turn makes this book not able to be done in 24 hours.

Summary: Fatal error
Review: I purchased this book because I needed to teach myself to use Microsoft Project in a hurry. Unfortunately, there's one big problem. The book indicates that there are "sample Project files" and "solutions to exercises" that pertain to many of the lessons, and that they are available on a particular website. Unfortunately, the files are no longer available on that website, and I can't find them anywhere else.This makes me furious, because there's no reason that SAMS couldn't make these files easily accessible on their own website, but they don't seem to want to support this book, which is still widely available for purchase. Don't buy this book unless you don't mind that files are unavailable.

Summary: Project made easy
Review: This book is well worth it's price. I have been using Project for years now and I was surprised at the lack of references out there in the market. Most books are either too simple or you need a Ph.D. to understand the material. However, this books is perfect for me to give to my students who are new to the program. I love the way the lessons are broken down into segments. The flow of the material is natural and sensible. The style of writing is also very down to earth, as should reference manuals be. The material is accurate and the tricks are helpful. Even though I am a seasoned user, I did pick up a few new tricks after reading the book. Thank you so much for writing a such a great book. I am confident my students will benefit from reading this book, I know I did!

Summary: PEN IS FULL OF INK
Review: With such different reviews, I had to see for myself. Whatever technical difficulties existed with downloading unuseable files have been fixed. This book is indeed logical and well-written in an easy to read but informative style. I'd recommend it for new and intermediate level users who don't like the "press the enter key" style of books. This one gives you "the why's and the how's" and lets you experiment, with the beginning and ending points in the downloadable files.
