Negative Positive
Title: Probably not worth $50US
Review: My experience suggests that online help and the "Learning to Program with AVENUE" (LPwA) manual included with ARCVIEW software is more helpful while learning and programming with AVENUE. As a beginner, working though LPwA was more helpful than this book. My experience with AVENUE is that learning to use the online help (it includes the object model for AVENUE) is the most valuable skill an ArcView User can have.My suggestion: work through LPwA, learn to use the online help, and spend $50US on a good Visual Basic book (or ArcObjects Developer's Guide by ESRIPress - ~$30US), because AVENUE may soon be phased out in favor of VB in coming versions of ArcView.Good luck!
