Customer Reviews

Very practical
As an IT techie, I found this book really amazing for people who aren't professional in this field. As a matter of fact it lists everything you want to know, step by step in order to get to the result you want. More advanced features are explained to take your drawings to the next level but a more dedicated book might be needed to get a more professional result. But for a start it's a great book.
