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.

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.
