Training Companies Books

This book focuses only on identifying the visual, auditory and kinaethetic (VAK) representational systems and applying them to communication, learning and training. The author admits in the Preface, "Many trainers may read this book and believe that, in my discussions of the various training aids, I am stating the obvious. To a certain extent, that is true." (p.xii) I'm afraid this is too true. Sally's effort to give more detailed discussions only insults the intelligence of trainers. Do not be misled by the title of the book, thinking that you'll get much help "through NLP". The scope is very limited and the content much too basic.

This video falls very short. Like the other review I read here, the videos just step through each of the menus and tells us what they are. I can figure that out by myself. I wonder is Sam (The author) is even a musician? I want to see how someone actually makes music with this product, not a point and click description of the product. Very disappointing.

Please, if you use this product and make music, turn on your video camera and share it with the world. There is a niche here that isn't being fulfilled.

I suffered through a couple hours of this training, and that was all I could stomach. I just didn't feel it was a good use of my time. Seeing the trainer simply going through each menu and pulldown option, speaking the name of the feature, changing the value of the knob, or whatever, then moving onto the next option just didn't teach me much. I can do that on my own. Just once I'd really like to see training on a music package that actually talked about using the tool to make actual *music*. Imagine that? But Noooo, that might actually make the training worthwhile. And it might actually require the instructor to understand how to use the package he is teaching.

I could not bring this program to life on my computer. I followed the instructions but I could not get it to work.

I am so disappointed with this video "tutorial"... the author skips so many steps during the process of recording and for some odd reason expects you to just know all these things as if they're so simple you'd have to be an idiot not to know how to do it. He doesn't explain half the concepts for beginners such as "what do you mean by 'sending to a bus', etc.

This has to be by far one of the worst video tutorials I've ever seen. I just had to stop only after lesson 5 because the author is so boring (his tone doesn't even sound like he wants to teach).

Totally not worth your time.

This CD is a review of ColdFusion BASICS, but in terms of their implementation in ColdFusion MX 7. If you are looking for a Training CD which covers such things and coldFusion Components, using XML, creating Web Services, Xforms, Flash Forms, Flash Remoting, CFReport, CFChart, printing, etc. you will not find it here. This CD covers Basic Tags which have existed since ColdFusion 5, and some have been modified in how they are used in MX 7. I am writing this review primarily to make it clear this covers how basic tags are implemented in ColdFusion MX 7. If you are looking for a CD that reviews ColdFusion Components and Web Services, get the ColdFusion MX CD (without the 7) as it reviews Mx 6.1 very well. I have communicated directly with the author of this CD and it is possible that an Advanecd ColdFusion MX CD may be created to cover more of the latest features of MX 7.

I buy the verion Spanish but they have sent the version english and ,I want the same version of the tutorial but the version spanish, THAT THIS IS PLEASEEEEEEEEE !!!!!!!!!!!!! "Discreet 3ds max 6 (Español) VTC Training Cd by Michael Hurwicz" ( ESPAÑOL= SPANISH).

This paperback is a work book. It is a series of exercises and worksheets for the textbook by the same name. It can be useful to instructors but is worthless without the hard cover textbook.

If you are browsing this subject, you probably have already decided that "improving the communication skills of your...people" is important. Now you are looking for information about how to go about doing that. Keep looking, this article has little such information. It is a review of one organization's process for going about setting up a program. It is presented as motivation for the rest of us to set up a program to do the same thing. Well, thanks, but I am already plenty motivated. It isn't the author's fault. The article is well-written enough and the title is not intentionally misleading. Just realize that there is no useful content for someone looking for tools and techniques for improving the communication skills of employees. That's what I was looking for, and I wasted my money.

This book is an awful, overpriced and repetitive textbook. If you are thinking about using this as a textbook for your class, stop and find a better book.

We believed, based on a review we had found, that the book was geared more toward parents having trouble with early potty training. Instead, the book is more of a toy for any child on the way to potty training, not a help to the parent. We don't find pictures of a toilet full of children's toys to be an idea that any child needs help in coming up with either, yet it is in there. Also, based on wording in the book, this is another of many that is geared for older children beginning potty training (i.e. 3 and over). And, being one of the more expensive, "for the child" potty books, we don't find it to be worth the money. Although it's not the first disappointment in potty books we have had, it is the first we are actually considering returning.
