Featured Customer Reviews Thrown Together,
September 02, 2008 I've had some luck with these guides in the past. They're decent overviews of basic functionality. There are exercises, but mostly I use them as references. I guess it's MSFT's version of the 'For Dummies' series.
The thing about Visio is that much of the basic functionality is intuitive. It seems this book could have done a better job of showing why Visio is superior to other programs by digging into what Visio can do. There are too many gaps. Add to that the typos and at least one illustration that's been misplaced, and you get what feels like a very slipshod effort.
I think there are bound to be a lot of folks who feel that way about this book. There have to be better resources out there, whether it's MSFT's Inside Out series or something else.
If you've never touched Visio or you're just using it for school, this one may cut it. If you're using it for a few different applications at work and you're hoping for a good desk reference, look for something else!
