For the most part the exercises in this book were very helpful but I think I would have gotten more out of it if I had to develop the entire project starting in chapter 1 rather than opening completed projects to make a few changes in each chapter.

This book does justice to its title. If you own a copy of Microsoft project and are interested in learning how to use it, or have an interest in project management, this book turns an otherwise complicated and overwhelming looking program into something manageable and easy to understand.

It's approach to providing an overview, and then drilling down to the details doesn't leave any unanswered questions. I can't speak to whether this book is test ready for Exam 74-343, but it certainly is a good start.

Microsoft Project 2013 Step by Step is just what it states - step by step. Following a fictitious project helps reader to understand the logic and mechanisms behind the Project idea. Contents is clear, with lots of illustrations, easy to follow. Examples are easy to reproduce. Additionally there are archive with project files with make reader's life even easier.

This is a good reading for beginners. I've enjoyed reading it.

The new features for reporting and sharing reports in Project 2013 are really amazing and they are well explained in the book.

If you did read the previous book about 2010, there will be just 3 useful/different chapters (7, 9 and 18) for learn about the new features (reports improvements and task path view).

As the previous book it's a good reading, well written and didatic, but, I still miss more information about project server.

A good book to start up with and getting familiar with all the tools in the software. Also get an understanding of different concepts in Project Management.
