Giving up, this book is worthless. 109 pages before you get to to a tutorial and that tutorial is missing steps. I tried 15 times and couldn't get the instructions to work. Nothing on the book's Errata page about this. The author tries way, way to hard to explain every possible option in this complicated program and simply fails. Cover to cover give me tutorials and teach me how to use features through them. What a waste of time. I read more than 100 pages and accomplished very little.
I have a rule, if I'm 100 pages in a book and don't know what it's about, I stop reading the book. I broke that rule with this book, reading 186 pages before finally giving up.
It's interesting and well written, but nothing much happens in those 186 pages. There are several stories inside that seem interesting, but none of them seem to go anywhere. I imagine the different stories merge at the end, but multiple stories like that aren't interesting enough that I'm willing to waste another 150 pages reading to find out how. What a waste of time for such a highly rated book.
