Summary: Debabelizer Visual Quickstart Guide
Review: The book explains how to use all the menus, but often leaves you in the dark as to when you would apply certain steps.I would say the hardest part of learning Debabelizer, lies in it's powerful and advanced scripting features, which this guide is too narrow, and jumps from one topic to the next. I understand that it is a quick start guide, and that it is not suppose to be set up like a tutorial book, but in a situation where there are lots of steps that require other steps found in other chapters, there needs to be a step by step approach that doesn't drift from the goal someone might be tiring to establish. I have found the programs help menu in some cases to be more descriptive then this guide, which is uncommon in most programs. I'm not saying this is a good or bad book, I'm just saying that it doesn't use the best approach for someone just starting to learn Debabelizer's scripting futures. However, the book was very good at explaining some of the terminology, such as what the differences were between (Image/Stand Alone/and Supper Palettes were.) The search goes on..................
