Customer Reviews

Worth the cost

I had to buy this book for a class I am taking, and it has proven very helpful and useful.

The bible for automation and show control industry

A well dog-eared copy of the first edition has been in my tool kit / computer kit for the last couple of years. I have found it a valuable resource. It has helped me on-site more than once. The second edition is more comprehensive and organized. Kudos to John in publishing a great resource fit for the student and experienced professional.
