"SolidWorks is a huge program by itself, and with all of the Gold Partners around the world that make 'add in's' for the program, it can be mind-boggling to learn. However, with Fulkerson's approach to modeling based learning, it can even be fun if you follow along.
In this superbly written and detailed learning experience, there are some neat things that I will start using in my next class. It really pays to see how other SolidWorks Instructors do things, explain and demonstrate 'the how to' with newer technologies.
This very detailed-orientated book on SolidWorks is even more enhanced by the inclusion of the QR or Quick Response links that you will see throughout this book. Sometimes, words are just not enough so a visual demonstration can show how something is done when words alone are too vague. I demonstrate how to do things in my classes, but I now see that can also be done teaching with a book and a smart phone. I have never such scannable links used before in any of the books on SolidWorks that I have reviewed to date. I think this is a really nice idea, and we all might see a lot more of it in the future.
This is truly a remarkable book to learn SolidWorks with and I am sure it will be a 'self learner's delight' when they get started with it. In fact, I have never seen a more detailed and better illustrated book on this subject. That alone will not do justice to how completely everything and every step was compiled and explained along the way. I believe that anyone having the SolidWorks program and this book could easily use it to learn and pass the very first step in the certification process that SolidWorks offers. I highly recommend it to all and give it my 5-star rating." — Richard Williams, Instructor and SolidWorks Expert
