Essentials of RoboHelp HTML X3

Summary: On the Money... Worth the Money
Review: I have heard nothing but good things about Iconlogic books (a couple of co-workers had learned Robohelp 2002 with their books) and decided to look for myself. I was a bit put off by the price, but considering the cost of taking a course, I decided to give it a try. I was happy I did. As the book promoted, I finished with it in two days. While I would not rate myself an expert, I can do what I set out to do, I can create new projects complete with style sheets, links and an index.

Summary: Top of the line & Worth Every Penny!
Review: I was handed a project at work that required me to learn RoboHelp HTML in less than a week, which is the equivalent of reproducing the Sistine Chapel on the side of a building in about twenty-four hours. Valium looked to become my newest friend until I tried the book "The Essentials of RoboHelp HTML X3" from IconLogic. After I had completed a couple of modules of this excellent training manual, I was becoming giddy with how easy the project had suddenly become. The best I can say about these IconLogic Books is in what the Project Manger said to me when he saw what I was producing; he said, "There is no way I'll ever believe you haven't used RoboHelp before now." True, there are cheaper books available about RoboHelp--but I don't think there are any better than those from IconLogic.

Summary: Classroom in a book.
Review: This book covers all the basics you need to get going on your own RoboHelp project. Easy to follow, well written and concise, the chapters take you through projects from beginning to end. The confidence building segments are a great help for all. I also now know that I need to add a module called WebHelp to my RoboHelp HTML application so I can benefit from the tutorial more fully. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: For beginners only
Review: While this book might be good for beginners, it didn't meet my needs for a good Robo X3 reference. It's well-written, but before buying, be sure that what you want is a training manual, not a well-indexed and throrough reference to Robo X3.
