Corel Paradox 8 for Windows 95: Computer Training Series

Rating:
Summary: Very good for simple, basic information
Review: I think that the biggest problem with this book is its title: the title is somewhat all-encompassing, while the book itself is very basic. I, too, like my fellow-reviewer in Ohio, tried in vain to find Paradox 8 books in the conventional bookstores. If Paradox is what you have, and your knowledge of database management is limited, this will get you going. If you need/want/require information on using Paradox beyond the absolute bare fundamentals, this is not the book for you. (In fact, I wonder if there is one at all.) This is pretty much the book I needed for my purposes (yes, more practice exercises, and more-complicated practice exercises would be nice), and this has been a very helpful purchase for me!

Summary: Corel Paradox 8 (Computer Training Series)
Review: I tried this book because it was the only one I could find on Paradox 8. The demographic that this book would help are those who have never used Windows 9x before. One entire chapter is devoted to intructions on printing (File, Print), and another chapter walks you through the Start menu to open up Paradox. Very basic material.

Summary: For ABSOLUTE - ABSOLUTE - Beginners
Review: If you do not know how to start yur computer, if you do not know how to start an application - any application, if you cannot even get through the tutorials that come with Paradox - perhaps this is for you. This book is basic - very basic. So basic that it makes the tutorials seem advanced. As has been commented by other reviewers, there is real need for Paradox books that go beyond the beginners tutorials - this is not one of them. I would have given this zero stars, but one star is the default. I have purchased thousands of pages of computer books in recent years. This was the worst I have come across. I write my first review out of horror that someone presented this book as useful. "It aint"
