Learn SOLIDWORKS: Get up to speed with key concepts and tools to become an accomplished SOLIDWORKS Associate and Professional, 2nd Edition

I used this book to learn Solidworks 3D experience, which is the low cost home version of Solidworks and found everything worked the same as in the text. Once in a while a command would be sluggish to execute when my internet was slow which kind of made it look like things weren't working but I got used to waiting once in a while. Overall a good text and well organized. Good at telling why you are doing things. But not so good at telling you exactly which mouse clicks make things happen. So I ended up doing web searches with words like "how to select center of a circle in Solidworks" and found lots of helpful YouTube videos. So I got through the book at a steady 20 pages a day and am happy with what I learned. I was able to find all the files described in the book on the web without too much trouble. Some of the figures were hard to make out because they are in only grey tones and the text calls out colors like red.

Product arrived on time excellent condition thank you

As an aerospace designer, I’ve relied on SOLIDWORKS for years—and I’ve followed Tayseer Almattar’s video courses throughout my career to stay sharp and up to date. This book brings together the clarity and depth of his teaching in one well-structured, easy-to-reference volume.The explanations are clear, concise, and support both Associate and Professional-level users. I especially appreciate how the book mirrors real-world workflows, making it a practical resource I can apply to my day-to-day work.Highly recommended for anyone serious about mastering SOLIDWORKS—whether you're a student, a professional, or somewhere in between.

Not compatible with 3DExperience Solidworks for makers which is a web based version. This probably would be an excellent book to learn from, but it requires the software to reside on your computer.

I received the book as part of a review step and this is, indeed, a true complete guide to Solidworks. You can easily find any information through table of contents, very well structured. If you want to know the why and how, this is the book you need, mainly if you just started using Solidworks or if you are a beginner.But… it gives you more than knowledge, it gives you a healthy workflow style (easy-fix tips and tricks in case you designed something ”wrong”). I have attended a couple of online courses of this author, and he is a mastermind of design thinking, not only in Solidworks, but also from an educational standpoint. Also, are presented a lot of ways to design a part – useful, time-saver and inclusive.I believe this is a great reference for more experienced users in case you want to try a new design method / feature or workflow.Can’t go wrong having this book it!
