1. I have read more than halve of the book and I find the book very interesting for people who only looks for programming very short programms than don't need the use of any OS. The author cover very little the use of C with Assembly and uses DOS API without any explanation. This is a book that is in the midel of the beginers books and experts books, because it is not explained for beginers and dosn`t cover the necesary to make complex programms.
   If someone needs a reference that covers all the instrutions set, because he is still programming wiht 8086 instructions and wants to use 80586 this is the book.

1 comments about Introduction to Decsystem-20: Assembly Language Programming.

1. One of best books ever written on Decsystem 20 Assembly Language. Ralph Gorin. It covers the basics to the complex features of the KL-10 instruction instruction set. Gorin writes in a clear, succinct style. There's probably only 1 of these systems still in operation so the book is mostly of nostalgic value, unless you are running one of the Decsystem 20 emulators that run on linux. Then you might find actual use as a die hard programmer modifying the code for VTTrek. :-)

5 comments about Assembly Modeling with Solidworks, 2004-2005.

1. This book appears to have the identical structure; Chapter headings, subheadings and order as the 2003 edition. My comments are based on the 2003 edition.
   
   I have been doing CAD modeling for over 14 years, and am just moving over to SolidWorks from a far more intuitive but not parametric package.
   
   This has been one of the most infuriating, and badly written textbooks I have ever seen or had the displeasure to use.
   
   I started with book one, by the same Authors - SolidWorks 2003 Tutorial, which plods through the exercise at an excruciatingly slow pace. This book is way worse. The title of the book is Assembly Modeling in SolidWorks, but it is not until half way through chapter two that you actually model a very simple part. Chapter one is spent almost entirely on how to order your files and folders and the simple task of putting three components together to form an assembly; this is repeated three times or more over 60 pages. Simple tasks are made complex, while the important things are rushed over.
   
   The authors have a poor grasp of the English language and appear unable to use tenses, everything is written in the present tense which is VERY confusing as chapters are structured to tell you what you will be doing, how to do it, doing it, and then a review of what you have done. Sometimes what you will be doing and doing it are mixed together in the body of an exercise, sometimes not. While you are building parts or assemblies the Authors are constantly showing you all the underlying complexities of SolidWorks, which becomes frustrating as it takes for ever to do the simplest things and only adds confusion.
   
   My advice - look elsewhere.



2. I have purchased other books from these authors in the past two years and I have found them all to be very useful and complete. The book on Assembly Modeling is no exception. This book does an excellent job in providing a sound learning structure with clear and concise procedures on Assembly Modeling. It is one of the few SW books out there that addresses Assembly Modeling. It is an excellent book to have in your arsenal of information on SW.
   
   I am a Mechanical Engineer working in a small company; approximately 50 employees. I do not have the luxury to ask other engineers in my department for assistance, because I am the only Design engineer here! I had a formal SW training class 16 months ago; a one week bootcamp that was good, but I was overwhelmed with the amount of material and the speed in which it was presented. Over the past two years, I have been purchasing books on SW to build a resource library at my company. This book provides an easy to follow procedure with all of the required commands in bold. I like the way the authors use pictures to enforce the procedure. It was slow in a few areas, but it was a good review for me. This is the third Solidworks book that I have purchased from these authors.
   
   I have contacted both authors in the past for assistances when I was working on an area that was not covered in their book or I required extra assistance. They are a great resource with a wealth of knowledge and experience in design. Both are Mechanical Engineers with equipment design backgrounds. I would recommend this book.



3. This is the second of two books, the first being, "Engineering Design with SolidWorks 2005" that I purchased from these authors. Both books are well written and have clear and succinct instructions. The books walk you through various projects in each chapter. The enclosed CD in the book is very useful. I would recommend this one!



4. First, about me. New to solidworks, not new to CAD. Bought the book knowing the basics but needing to learn more about Assemblies. My prefered way of learning software is to start with a project that is of interest to me (work or personal). When I get stuck, I like to go to a reference and read about a topic and then hopefully see an example. Then I apply what was shown to my project.
   
   This book is very awkward for trying to learn this way mainly because the examples are way too complicated for demonstrating simple operations. I really think to get the most from this book you need to start at the beginning and work your way through - like you would do in a classroom setting - I'm guessing this is what the book might be written for and it might me a fine book in that setting.
   
   My interest was to use the book as a reference to quickly learn solutions to specific problems I encounter while working on my own projects. For this purpose, the book did not meet my needs



5. I have been using SW for approximately five months. I was an old Pro/E user. I purchased this book last month and I AM GLAD THAT I DID! The book is very well written and I agree with the other reviewers in that the book provides an easy to follow step by step procedure. SW is a great software tool. The author works with toolbars and right-click commands. The screen shots in the book are clear and accurate. I was able to simply follow the steps with their bold commands and watched the enclosed CD for the proper procedure. It was simple and straight forward. What a concept! Very good book.

1. I thought the content was well organized and Harley has good dialogue as he teaches. I actually borrowed this book from a co-worker, but now I am interested in purchasing a copy to keep as a reference.
