Using Microsoft Visio 2010 ReviewFull Disclosure: I am an acquaintance of the author and indeed even mentioned on page 323. Take that into account when reading this review.
My background: I have used Visio extensively for 10 years and continue use it *every day* in my work at Microsoft. My knowledge of this application is in the areas of end-user productivity, making visually-compelling diagrams, and driving the application via code (C#, IronPython, VBA, etc.).
Summary:
This book is the only resource either in print or online that I feel clearly communicates to a *normal person* how to use Visio's features and provides the that only someone who deeply uses the application can provide.
A strength of this book is that it will *save you time*. It provides in one place the hard-won knowledge that would otherwise only be available through much trial-and-error and confusion. For example consider section 6.2. This section describes how to quickly format a table of boxes. Creating a table the standard way would require much dragging and dropping of shapes and tedious formatting and re-typing. Section 6.2 shows how to use to quickly do the equivalent in much less time and in the process you'll learn things that will make you more productive with all of your other diagrams. This is just one tiny example. The book has many similar sections that describe a variety of situations you'll encounter in your day-to-day use of Visio.
What surprised me about this book is that I even though I am considered an "expert" user of Visio in Microsoft, I still found a lot to learn in the book. The author's knowledge about the application is truly deep. My work in the past few years has naturally been with Visio 2007 and so I found book was useful in discovering and understanding the new features in Visio 2010.
Printed versus Kindle version: I own both but the Kindle version is the one I use on an iPad2 and via Amazon's Kindle Cloud Reader. For me, there's no point bringing the physical book around when I always can access it electronically. Another advantage of the Kindle version is that the screenshots are in color (when viewed through a color-enabled Kindle device), while the printed version has everything in grayscale.
