Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I could have purchased a similar book here on Amazon for half the price, but I chose this one for the included CD.
The CD contains a 45 day free trial of LogixPro by Bill Simpson. When I installed and ran this program immediately upon receiving it, it stated that my 45 days had already expired, and then directed me to Simpson's website, "The Learning Pit" to purchase a code to unlock the full version. There I went on to have further runtime issues with the other "trial" versons available for download.
I e-mailed Bill Simpson, since he invites people to do so in order to "improve" the product. He refused to stand by either the CD or his download. He offered no explanation or remedy for the problems, and told me to return the book.
Do not allow this CD to influence whether you buy the book. Do not expect any support from it's maker.
After five days working on my own, as an IT professional, I did finally force the thing to work. My solution was not something that even an experienced windows user could have found. Nor should they have to. Even now, the trial counter shows only 40 days remaining...I'll never get those 5 non-productive days back.
