Such a great tutorial

We have a resource guarding puppy in the house and this book has been they best thing that could have happened. It breaks down step by step instructions based on the type of guarding you are dealing with. We are only part way through the steps but the book is already making a previously hopeless situation seem promising.

At a high level it really gave me a better understanding on creating an App, well it is a prototype App. But, to easily be walked through and how the basics work and with videos for each chapter to back-up the writing, great job!

I actually bought Books 1 and 3 too, since I really liked how the book is written and the ease of understanding it I. I have spent a month trying to watch on-line videos on just creating a basic App but never got a chance to understand what or why on how it was being done. I am truly pleased to have stumbled across the the Book 3 that gave me a sample and got me hooked.

Thank you again for your time and making this easy for me, a newbie to iOS

I only recently decided to move our popular web site to the WordPress platform (as of this date I'm still working on it).
The learning curve for using WordPress turned out to be steeper than I anticipated. I've built a number of sites over the years and worked in web development and SEO/SEM capacities for some major companies. I figured it would be simple, not so much.

Which brings me to Tristan's book.

I quickly realized I needed some help, so I of course bought some books. I wish I'd purchased this book before I started. The education about how to choose themes (and plugins, and widgets) is well worth the price of admission. In fact I would highly recommend to anyone first venturing into using WordPress to buy and read this book first.
Mine already has a number of pages tagged with sticky notes and plenty of sentences and paragraphs highlighted.

Tristan not only teaches you what to look for and how to know if it's what you want, but just as importantly he teaches you what to look out for.
I'm glad I purchased this book, I'm finding it very helpful.
You can see a picture of my site in transition (the all white and too busy version) and the transition to WordPress (the clean version).
Hopefully I'll have it all done in a few weeks and move the test WP iteration over to take the place of the current live site, Piano World.

Lightwave is still a great 3D program and in my opinion, is worth learning. However, like all 3D programs, including Blender, it can be extremely intimidating and boring to learn. Davis does a really great job in this tutorial. He gets right down to business, and after a fairly quick intro into the basic controls, jumps right into building a space ship. What's cool about this is that you are learning how to build something right away, but at a very reasonable and well explained pace. Ideally, if you have two monitors, one monitor can play the video, and then you can follow along on the other monitor. Also, in using the current version of Lightwave 2015, I find the interface nearly identical and all the shortcut keys and everything he describes still applies. If you want a serious, no frills, and engaging tutorial that covers the basics of Lightwave, then this is that tutorial. It is worth every penny, awesome in every way. This is seriously one of the best tutorials I have ever seen, and especially well explained given the complexity of the overall program.

I realy like this tutorial a lot because of the way they instruct you as it's very easy to follow and you can do it at your leisure. Also the price can not be beat for a tutorial like this all the other retail tutorials I have come across are ridiculously high priced or you have to pay again a ridiculously high monthly charge and go online every time you want to learn something and not worth my consideration. I would have given this product five stars however I think it could have covered a bit more. I guess this is why it's cheaper than most but it's definitely not because it has less information to offer than the other tutorials out there it's probably because the people who make it are very realistic about what to charege for it. As a matter of fact this tutorial has more information in it's program than some of the others that have a much higher price tag.

I've always wanted to try out nude photography and decided on this book to start out with.  Not only does it have awesome tutorials, but it has model selection, lighting and camera tips, as well as post-processing tips.  It is laid out exceptionally well with lots of great example photographs and graphics.  While it covers mostly nude photography of women, it does cover photographing men as well.  This is perfect "get started" reading if you are looking for the art of photography and the nude.

Really impressed with the information and the examples for the tutorial. Did a great job explaining the new features. Good job differentiating between Windows version and subscription version.

Well I gotta say, I had a ton of fun editing my first short film. This is very beginner friendly, easy to figure out. I would definitely recommend this as a stepping stone into film editing. And just because it's good for beginners doesn't mean veterans of film editing shouldn't pick this up. There is so much you can do with this program. I'm still just picking things up and it took me maybe roughly 2 or 3 hours to complete my first project and it came out way better than I expected. So don't hesitate if you're reading this, buy this program and you won't be disappointed.

I created my first and only  web site back in the days when all browsers were Netscape, all graphics jpg or gif, all coding html and all backgrounds medium gray. I was determined to design my own site and not be seduced by simplistic, pre-packaged templates, but I was intimidated by the possibility of getting buried under too much complex instruction. Macromedia's Dreamweaver and David Karlins Complete Idiot's Guide to Dreamwewaver MX sounded like just the ticket.  I was not disappointed.  David Karlins writes in an often humorous style that puts him right there with you, anticipating your next question or guiding you deftly around the pitfalls and frustrations.  This book is well written and informative.  It is obvious that Mr. Karlins has a great deal of experience teaching the subject and loves to teach.  A bonus that I hadn't expected was the fast and helpful email responses from the author on those few occasions I did get in a corner.  I highly recommend this book, and not just for the beginner.  It's just plain fun to read and use.

This is a great way to learn JavaScript.  I have always learned better when I could actually do it rather than just read about it.  I really appreciate the time Mark Myers spent setting this lessons up.  I highly recommend this book.

I have to admit, I've wanted to learn Flash for awhile, but a copy of a different Flash book just sat my desk for months. I dreaded reading page after page of instruction. When this one came along, however, I dove right in! I may have "cheated" a bit by going straight to the CD and putting it in my PC. It was so refreshing to actually see how this all works. (With that instruction as inspiration, I did refer to the book for more information.) I've already ordered the extra CD that is available for this book, and can't wait for more.

I've been wanting to learn to knit for a while.

I found TheArtOfKnitting.com website and was so excited to see how much info was on the DVD.

I ordered it and after just a couple of viewings, made some cool scarves. The directions were clear and it's so great how you can rewatch the clips and really get a moving view of how knitting works. It still amazes me how looping yarn on needles can make such a beautiful fabric. More amazing is how easy it was learning with this awesome DVD.  Aside from the great instructions, my favorite feature of The Art of Knitting DVD is the A-Z index. When I need a little refresher, I can just go right to the section I need. There's so much more on this DVD (check out their website to see the full list of features), I know you'll just love it. I do!

Im pretty much a learn it as I go kind of person but that doesnt mean I don't need a place to start, especially when it comes to something like programming. I learned HTML years ago, when you actually had to use it to create your website  there were no templates with simple drag and drop operations. I decided it was time to learn something more, and it was recommended to me that I start with Python. I chose this book to begin learning the basics, and Im really glad I did. Ryan Hutt uses simple language and examples to get you started and not feel like hes talking down to you. I found it to be perfect for a beginner such as myself. Im sure I will read it over and over again, learning as I go, until Im ready to go to the next level.  For content, I am giving this book 5 stars. The author knows what hes talking about, but he really should hire a new proofreader before sending his books to print.

I have a technical background but have no experience using Unity or making games. This book was a great start in learning how to use the Unity user interface, create environments, and make them interactive. I found the text clear and easy to follow, with very few errors. The material was current for the latest version of Unity when I read it (5.5.0f3). After finishing, I felt that I was well on my way to making my own games. Note that this book has no programming in it; you can do quite a bit in Unity without writing any code. The Kindle version is cheap, and if you enjoy it there are several other volumes in the series to learn more. I highly recommend this for anyone getting started with Unity.

This was the jumpstart I needed to learning photoshop.  This is not so much a tutorial as it is a get-up and start-using photoshop one-on-one session, exactly as the title suggests.  So instead of learning the interface in text-book procedural fashion, it's kind of like apprenticing for the author Deke (who also wrote the photoshop bible book).  BTW, the author is notably an Master at photoshop, as is apparent when he tells you "nobody uses this command, you can do that function with this new command here".  There's a lot to be distracted in photoshop, hundreds and hundreds of different functions, and it turns out that many of these functions are obsolete and only left-in to satisfy old users, so having Deke point these things out is fantastic.  Eg, unsharpen mask, obsolete.  smart sharpen, da-shizzle.

  I found a lot of the steps to be wordy, and it took me a week to go through the book/lessons, but it was well worth it.  I'm guessing I retained about 60% of what Deke teaches in the book, but the goal was to familiarize myself with how to USE photoshop and even get into the habit of using the shortcut keys, a specialized (and arguably more intuitive) set of shortcuts is provided by the author on the CD-ROM.  This book also goes through steps that will optimize Photoshop, such as reducing and distributing cache files in the settings.  Generally speaking, Deke explains what each command does as you're doing it, but it's obvious that you need experience to know that you should apply certain settings to get the pictures to look right.  So experience begone, it's good to follow the training and see what a professional *would* do to create the compositions.

People are right about the CD-ROM being a lesson in itself.  It's over 2 hours of very high quality video and easy-to-follow instruction.  The CD-ROM's show little introductory movies to each chapter, which show the author completing a mini-project that usese the techniques about to be explained.  Personally I don't think the  videos are totally necessary and I doubt I will go back to them, but they ARE helpful and put things into perspective, and I guess are sort of psychological support so that when you start on a chapter at least you have a very good idea of what you're going to learn...the videos put the book's chapters into perspective.  And yeah, better to watch the videos than to not watch them, I have :-)

My goal in all this was to learn photoshop well enough to put the program into perspective, so that I would better understand web tutorials and the more encyclopediadic how-to books on the program (such as deke's photoshop bible or martin evening's nice photoshop reference).  I've met that goal in this book, I'd say I'm borderline intermediate now save for a bit more experience with the program.

Also a note to those who judge a book by it's pictures...personally, and this is just me, I thought a lot of the pictures/projects in the book looked tacky, and I almost passed on the book because it looked, well, weird.  But the projects have you mess around with layers and filters and in the end, it won't matter that there's a disturbing cartoonish picture of his son with a smushed face in pastel colors, or a football made to look like a mr. potato-head with a fruit bowl as a hat.  gees.  Actually, I wish the author would also write a one-on-one book like this for Adobe Illustrator.
