5.0 out of 5 stars Nice, September 5, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Special Edition Using Groove 2.0 (Paperback)
this book really helped our team with understanding the framework of groove. The documentation provided with groove is horrible and cryptic. Bill spells everything out simply so that anyone, no matter what their experience, can learn. I highly recommend!

This review is from: Special Edition Using Groove 2.0 (Paperback)
This book is well written, straight to the point and provides many easy-to-follow and use examples.

We were able to get our team up and running - especially young developers - in half the time we expected.

4.0 out of 5 stars Using Groove, September 4, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Special Edition Using Groove 2.0 (Paperback)
This book significantly reduces the learning curve and helps junior team members to get up to speed quickly. A great supplement to the vendor provided documentation and good coverage on developing your own custom tools.
