About The Author
So, you need to expand your knowledge of Crystal Reports? Well, after 12 years in the training industry, I have found that the best learning technique is hands-on experience. So this manual is designed, not only to inform you about Crystal Reports, but also to give you step-by-step directions for completing tasks. In addition, after helping thousands of students learn new computer skills, I have come to be a firm believer in learners knowing why features work the way they do. So I have included background information in the manual to provide a firm understanding of each feature in theprogram and how it works.
The manual includes a firm grounding in the basic features of Crystal. After the basics, you can learn all you need to know to create an accurate, professional-looking report, including grouping, sorting, summarizing, basic formulas, linking, graphing, conditional formatting, and distribution. The manual includes specific exercise instructions on each feature. Several of the lessons also include challenge exercises designed to test the learner's knowledge and stretch their capabilities. All exercises work with the Xtreme sample database that ships with Seagate Crystal Reports, so you don't need anything to get to work except our manual and the software.
You should also be aware that this manual consists of the compiled knowledge of many talented trainers and consultants. It contains information amassed in a combined 15 years of working with Crystal Reports in real-world reporting situations. These experienced professionals have contributed a tremendous amount of information and helpful insights into the software program.
Customer Reviews & Comments
This book is fantastic!! It is really a classroom manual with all of the little things explained and actual pictures of what appears on the screen when you are done. It's simple format and excercizes make using it a breeze whether you want to skim over basic things you already know (like how to get around in a windows environment) or dive in and do all of the excercises. It also lists the several ways that you can do each task so that you can choose which way you want. I find that the "warnings" and notes are invaluable because they tell you how and why the program does certain things and the consequences of making certain decisions in your report writing. The excercizes seem basic at first, but introduce you to all the possibilities and where to find them. Crystal charges $800-900 for their courses which are only held in major cities and asks that you already complete Chapter 7 in their manual. As a working, home schooling,dog-and-cat-owning mom, I can train at home when I want and save the travel expenses! I look forward to completing my projects in Crystal; it will save our company a ton of $ and I should get a major bonus (or so I'm told -- my husband is the boss!) I highly recommend this program. This book along with Crystal's very well written help section should give you enough to do whatever you want.
