End-users and report developers alike use Crystal Reports to extract and format information, and Crystal Reports is one of the most popular packages for corporate reporting. As powerful as it is, Crystal Reports is not known for having a gentle learning curve--in fact, many new users can find the task of extracting what they need from the program a daunting one. Fortunately for these new users, there's CRYSTAL REPORTS 2011 FOR DEVELOPERS: REPORT DESIGN AND INTEGRATION.

Free Crystal Reports 2011 for Developers: Report Design and Integration
At 466 pages (plus a 26-page appendix), this book is predictably thorough. Something any reader will notice while reading it is the large number of screenshots. While we've grown used to seeing screenshots in books about Crystal Reports or other software, I think this book makes especially good use of them. It also includes other helpful graphics.
As with any other book on Crystal Reports, the author assumes the reader understands some basics about business reports. That's a good assumption, as somebody without that understanding should not be designing reports. And the author provides some good tips on making those reports best serve their purpose.
The author also assumes a computer competence level that I find quite reasonable for anyone who would be reading this book. So, there's no page space wasted on telling you how to save a file. Have you noticed books that do this also make a sudden jump in skill level to assume you are a database expert and you can whip out a VB script left-handed and blindfolded while simultaneously writing code in .net with the right hand?
Yes, I exaggerate a bit, but some books have left me frustrated after boring me to tears through 18 pages of how to open a file in Windows Explorer and then suddenly assuming the reader has all these ancillary skills that probably only 1 senior programmer in 1,000 has. This reminds me of an actual Chrysler service manual from the 1960s that listed Step 1 as "Remove engine." Why that kind of thing keeps cropping up, I have no idea. But I'm glad it did not crop up in this book.
Unfortunately, the lingo in the trade uses the term "developer" to mean the person designing the report. Most report designers are really end-users, not developers in the traditional sense. I'm glad Ms.
