The contrast of the print to the page color is terrible.There is decent content in the book but the print is on less than newspaper quality paper. 2. Although the content is OK, I'd look elsewhere for an easier reading experience (thus better understanding of the subject). I'm really let down by the book in 2 regards: 1. The print is so small it ridiculous. It is extremely hard to read.
I keep it close by and can always find answers when I use it. Excellent book to use as a reference. Could use more informaion on creating forms, and integrating forms with application data.
Lots of good tips and very helpful navigating the new interface which is a pain to learn. Glad I bought this.
The CD also provides a searchable PDF of the entire book. This is a plus.
Some books do not have that many pages in the index. If you want a reference where you can look up what you need only when you need it, this 1000+ page book is for you.
Reduces search time.If you are looking for an easy cover-to-cover read, this ain't it. The 22 page TOC and 36 chapters gives you some idea of the depth of coverage.
I bought it as a reference, not a tutorial, but it does have the latter and the CD with it has samples to use with tutorials if you choose. Great if you have a laptop as the book is a bulky 2 inches thick.Each chapter has frequent CROSS-REF statements that refer you to other chapters which will elaborate in more detail on something mentioned in the current chapter.
Many books on this software cost as much or more but have perhaps 1/4 the material with lots of white space and cartoon silliness.
It's even missing crucial details about dynamic forms ("expand to fit").Too much of this book is hard to follow and seems unnecessarily long. Loaded with typographical, grammatical and even spelling errors, this book seems rushed to press. I expect more from a "Bible" book.
