Summary: In my opinion
Review: Easy to understand but was not as detailed as needed. Power user; don't think so. Routine logic.

Summary: Finally something I can teach from
Review: I feel this will provide all user with a more real world look at what Crystal Reports can do and give them good examples to take back with them. I have been looking for two years or better to find something of this caliber. I have spent several years working with Crystal Reports both as a consultand and as an instructor, and found some new tips in your curricula.

Summary: Try to follow this...... are you joking?
Review: I think Fast Planet could have done a lot better if they would have taken more time. The book jumps around too much. Also, if you are trying to teach someone else, it makes it awefully hard.

Summary: Try to follow this...... are you joking?
Review: Not a great book by any means, scattershot at best. However, it does seem to be the best of a weak crop of Crystal Reports "power user" training books. 10 lessons and a forgettable appendix. Lessons themselves are all over the place (i.e "now apply formatting so that it looks like the example 5 pages previous", "refer to bullet points in previous section"). The definitive "power user's workshop" remains to be written. Vastly overpriced at 55 dollars.

Summary: Best but needs editing
Review: Not bad content-wise, but I hope the 9 version has better editing. Random hopping drives ya bunky. (Was that 3 pages back, or last chapter?)

Summary: Where to continue learning Crystal Reports
Review: This book continues where "Quick Start Workshop" left off. It digs deeper into customizing Crystal Reports for your particular situation. If you started with "Quick Start Workshop", you definitely don't want to stop there. I think every Crystal Report user will eventually need to know about and use the material discussed in "Power User Workshop". Again, this book is written very clearly in tutorial form as is its prequel. I find supervised training fun but if you want to save your company money, buy the book and work through it yourself. You'll get just as much out of it.
