Solid introduction for the beginner [Posted on 2001-12-31]
Not a bad book and a good introduction to the subject. Like many of the other reviewers, I think the book is much more suited to the beginner. I have been (badly) using MS-Project for years, and this book didn't really offer me too many new things. Overall, it is a good book, for its intended audience. Only two beefs: 1) Like all Microsoft Press books it did not give any insight to the common problems that can occur when you use the software, doesn't discuss bugs, etc., and 2) Many important options were only given brief discussion...say maybe one sentence, when a paragraph should have been used. I'm sure this was a writing and editing decision, but it took away the usefulness of the book when I was trying to research intermediate questions and issues of use.

When they say step by step they mean it! [Posted on 2002-02-13]
This is a pretty good book.
Covers most of what you need.
Would have liked to see the central server covered better.
They really do go through things step by step.
Covers the basics VERY thoroughly.

Teach yourself! [Posted on 2002-02-28]
This is a great book to teach yourself more than you ever wanted to know on Microsoft Project 2000. This book takes you through STEP BY STEP on how to use Microsoft Project and gives you great samples on the enclosed CD. If only the instructors in school would have made it this easy! Very easy to follow and use. Highly Recommended.

All you need for a good start [Posted on 2003-04-21]
First of all, this book is for beginners to MS Project. You can read this book chapter by chapter, or you can pick chapters to study since there is no referencing for past chapters or following chapters.
Easy to read and follow the writers. You don't feel lost in this book. One reason for that is the screenshots (perfect) and little pictures besides the text. for example when the book says "click on Go to selected task" you can see the icon of that feature right besides the text. If you never, ever used MS Project that saves time - you don't need to read every screentip.

In overall, you can learn from this book and use it as a reference after that. But after couple projects, I believe you will be an expert of what is written in the book. Just for beginners, as I said, and for the MS Project Core exam.

Great book for beginners [Posted on 2003-07-15]
I understand a lot about project management, but being a developer I had never learned to really use MS Project. I picked up this book and followed it from beginning to end, using the accompanying CD-ROM. I learned more about Project in the few hours it took to go through the book than I thought I would.

I didn't give it 5 stars as there were a few minor errors (maybe 5 total) in the text, or very confusing transitions in the instructions.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is either new to Project, or has used it but is not sure of themselves. I'm thinking of going through the book again, just to reiterate the lessons.
