1 comments about The VHDL Reference: A Practical Guide to Computer-Aided Integrated Circuit Design including VHDL-AMS.

1. This VHDL book is targeted more to the VHDL beginners. It contains a quite good html-based VHDL workshop and the VHDL '93 online reference. It covers only a little bit the new emerging analog mixed-signal extension to VHDL which is called VHDL-AMS. The VHDL-AMS chapter was very disappointing to me.

   If you are looking for a book about VHDL-AMS you're better off with the following book:

   "The DESIGNER'S GUIDE TO ANALOG & MIXED-SIGNAL MODELING" "Illustrated with VHDL-AMS and MAST"

1. This book contains plenty of examples related to the authors standpoint on Universal Design. While most books on Universal Design are about the accessibility in the space, this books is dealing with lot about the things. On top of everything, the authors use easy, straightforward vocabulary, so the book is helpful not only for the experts but novices, too. Strongly recommend to the students who study universal design as well as design professionals who actually perform their ability to designing 'something for the world'

5 comments about The CNC Workshop Version 2.0 (2nd Edition).

1. I could not get the simulators from the CD to run. I have the most recent associated software updates and a well-maintained virus-free newer computer. I saw a disclaimer somewhere while struggling with trying to get the simulator to run that it may not operate correctly with more current versions of bla-bla software, so I'm not sure. Anyway, if the software that comes with this book can't be made user-friendly enough to run with a minimum of hassle, then it's not much good to me. Yes, I will try to get one of my computer expert buddies to assist, but should I really have to do that after paying good money for this book/CD??



2. I have spent hundreds of dollars looking for the perfect CNC "all in one" book. I have read all the reviews from "CNC authorities(LOL)" bad mouthing this book/CD. The CNC Workshop is the book you want if you know nothing about CNC and would prefer a multimedia presentation and a CNC Milling simulator and a CNC turning simulator to try your hand at machining a CNC part on your computer.

   READ THIS!: This is strictly an introduction to CNC..That's all!..That's all it was meant to be!..and it is darn good at what it does. After you have saturated your brain with the info in the multimedia presentation...get the CNC Programming Handbook by Peter Smid to get you past the basics.

   I have used the multimedia presentation numerous times to teach new CNC operators the basics. You have to start somewhere and this is an entertaining way to learn.




3. As a 12 year experienced journeyman, I found the book and program to do exactly what was expected. When someone buys a book or tries to learn from a book. Its intended purpose is to teach a person the foundation of the subject matter. This book was designed to give just that. I have tested the software and found no problems that would have not occurred in a real life situation. Do not teach students that if your CNC does not work or crashes, than the CNC machine or manufacturer [stinks]! To the teachers of the world that complain that it does not work. Get a Life! In the real world, CNC operations do just what you complain about, they CRASH. Now teach your students how to correct the problem. Stop teaching them how to complain. The software and book, and any book of learning, are not intended to make you and expert. It is to TEACH people that want to learn about the subject mater! Do to the number of different CNC interfaces that are on the market or being used in the REAL world. The book tells you right from the beginning, that codes are different to each machine manufacturer. That most machines are based off of the ISO standards, but use their own codes. If someone wants to learn the foundation of CNC's then this is a book for them.



4. My school gave me CNC Workshop and we never use it. I put programming into simulation and doesn't work. I think there is much missing information.



5. This book sells well because of the simulator CD which impresses beginners and highschool level students. Anyone with CNC machining experience and know-how will come away disappointed.

   CNC Workshop illustrates dozens of factual errors in programming format, it contains some glaring omissions, and spends far too much space promoting its own flawed software. This software has crashed and frozen up in many of my students' computers and fails to accurately portray CNC motion.

   This is an adequate book for very basic level CNC knowledge or for people with only elementary knowledge of the English language. It does an acceptable job of explaining some basic NC concepts and the multimedia package (NOT the simulator) is fairly helpful for educators. It would be a fine book for $35 in a highschool shop class, but does not deserve to share shelf space with books by Smid, Lynch, Valentino, Krar, or Curran.
