I really appreciate the tips and tricks that are noted throughout the textbook. They help to smooth the transition between instruction and application. Text and lessons combine to deliver a clear sense of the value of the tools introduced as well each tool's potential. The result is a fully up-to-date resource that shortens the learning curve and builds confidence and comfort in using the software as a tool to create architecture. Highly recommended.
