Book Reviews of Apple Training Series: iWork 08
Book Review: A take it slow, learn it well approach
Summary: 5 Stars
I finally went back to Mac after 12 years with a PC, and decided to tackle iWork on my MacBook to be more productive in creating teaching materials.
After research, I purchased this iWork 08 training series. I did as the author suggested, and took it step by step from the beginning. Oh, lest I forget, I did install 4 gigs of RAM from [...] so that iPhoto could zoom (it does!). This morning I spent about 1.5 hours on Lesson 1, and started Lesson 2.
I am confident that this manual will serve as an excellent resource for when I am ready to branch out on my own in creating slide presentations and documents.
Why am I confident? The author walks the reader through, step by step, and refers the reader to the lessons you download from the enclosed CD to check your work.
I've read reviews that say this series spends too much time on Keynote. I disagree because it's obvious the skills embedded in Keynote are transferable to the other iWork programs.
I am pacing myself to do about a lesson at a time, and by the time school starts next year, I expect to be "fluent" in iWork.
Thumbs up:)))))))
