Fantastic book! I'm a seasoned mfg. engineer who stepped away from the field for a few years for a career change. I'm renewing my skills to return to the mfg world. I purchased this because it's the textbook used by my college course. They use the same series by the same author for Solidworks and Creo. The concepts and lessons are crystal clear and taught at a beginner level. No prior CAD knowledge required. If you are cross-training between apps, the 3 books use the exact same format, examples and exercises. The same book company offers more advanced books and certification guides. I would absolutely buy other books in this series.
