Title: Nice reference for new to Crystal Reports
Review: I recently started a new job that included a significant amount of Crystal Reports development. I found to my dismay that there is very little information on Crystal Reports development on the Internet.Crystal Reports 8.5 is by far the least intuitive tool (or development platform, whatever you want to call it) that I have ever worked with. The manuals provided with Crystal reports appear to be written buy someone as lost as I, because they didn't offer any insight, or provide any information that I didn't already know.This book provided a good foundation for me, and I feel like I can tackle a good portion of the problems that I'm now faced with for reporting. The book covers traditional reporting problems, and as it seems with everything I get involved in, the work I'm doing is not traditional, but it does provide good principals and has a lot of information that helps me to be able to move on to the non-traditional stuff much better.
