Sams Teach Yourself Microsoft Project 2000 in 24 Hours

I have been a PM now for five years and have created many a project schedule. This book was great for teaching me how to use MS Project as well as a reference now on the features that I don't use that often. I would highly recommend this book if you are new to project. I have never tried to do the exercises, so I would go with the other reviewers on the download problem. For the content of this book on how to use project, this book can not be beat!

With such different reviews, I had to see for myself. Whatever technical difficulties existed with downloading unuseable files have been fixed. This book is indeed logical and well-written in an easy to read but informative style. I'd recommend it for new and intermediate level users who don't like the "press the enter key" style of books. This one gives you "the why's and the how's" and lets you experiment, with the beginning and ending points in the downloadable files.

This book is well worth it's price. I have been using Project for years now and I was surprised at the lack of references out there in the market. Most books are either too simple or you need a Ph.D. to understand the material. However, this books is perfect for me to give to my students who are new to the program. I love the way the lessons are broken down into segments. The flow of the material is natural and sensible. The style of writing is also very down to earth, as should reference manuals be. The material is accurate and the tricks are helpful. Even though I am a seasoned user, I did pick up a few new tricks after reading the book.Thank you so much for writing a such a great book. I am confident my students will benefit from reading this book, I know I did!
