I am a Crystal Reports developer and as such I am always on the lookout for good reference material. When it comes to Crystal Reports that is not always easy to find. When you do find a reference book, like so many in the programming area, it is simply a restatement of the help file. By that I mean there is little more information than you can find by clicking on the software's help button. Not so with this book, the author has created something unique. In it there are a number of things that make this true, for example there are tutorials to step through processes and a best of forum feature where real world questions have been asked and answered.
Also, many Crystal Report developers are asked to create accounting reports. The author has created an appendix that specifically deals with the basics of getting those tasks done. He explains three different accounting software packages and what to look for in the table structures. He also steps you through the report layout of a number of common accounting reports. Extremely helpful to those who are debit and credit challenged. It was something I really appreciated.
There is alot to recommend about this book. Just remember this is not about .Net (that is supposed to be a later volume) but rather about the Crystal Reports Professional version. However there is more than enough here to be of value to anyone who creates Crystal Reports.

This book - like others written by Brian Bischof - is well laid out and clearly written. It has many excellent examples, and they are easy to find and utilize. It is also quite apparent that he has gone to considerable effort to illustrate the many new features that are to be found in CR XI.
I have had to purchased numerous books in the last year, trying to understand the differences between Visual Basic ver. 6 with Crystal Reports ver. 6, and Visual Studio.NET 2003 with its version of Crystal Reports and beyond to VS.NET2005 and CR-XI. Brian's books are the only ones that I have close at hand for when any problems arise.
Excellent Purchase December 17, 2007
