Good book for the computer novice but not for professionals:
The authors of this book assume that you are a novice or a beginner programmer and I have to question whether novice or beginner programmers are going to be designing software using Visio. When I read this book, I quickly became bored. I already know how to save a file to the hard drive so why waste my time reading about it. In Chapter 1 through 4 the authors explain the various features of Visio and explain the basics of Visio, such as creating a diagram, adding shapes to a diagram, formatting shapes and... more info
No 30-day Demo!:
I bought this book for the 30-day demo so I could actually work through the steps to learn the program as the book was designed.

For my personal use I would rate this book as 2. However I have to acknowledge that it is a high quality production with lots of nice pictures to assist people who don't know how to save a file of change the color of their text. If you've ever used MS office products such as Word or Powerpoint about 50% of the information in this book will be redundant. Can anyone recommend a book which explains how Visio 2002 uses the MS Repository? This book didn't even mention the Repository.
