In most cases the explanation is less than a page. The student then gets practice on that topic before moving on to the next topic. Diagrams illustrate the text and exercises We include diagrams, screen captures, icons and key caps to illustrate the topic being presented. There are also screen captures in the exercises. As they say in the classics, a picture is worth a thousand words.
Some texts provide endless theory before giving a practical example.
By the end, the students have forgotten what they covered earlier. By contrast, we give short sections of explanation and then give the student a practical example of using the material covered. Some jargon is unavoidable and so we give you these terms and explain what they mean. Otherwise, we avoid jargon and just explain things in plain English. In each lesson, we give tips on using the product.
