I needed to learn Crystal Reports for my latest project. I am absolutely new to CR and that's why I picked for Dummies series. The book is for beginners indeed. All tasks are step by step and so detailed that tech guy would find it frustrating... Well, that's probably expected in "for dummies" series.

The book is about learning how to use CR, there is no tech stuff that a CR developer might be looking for.
