Matt Lombard's "SolidWorks Administration Bible"

Matt Lombard has just released his fourth book in his SolidWorks Bible series from Wiley Publishing.

Matt's new book, the SolidWorks Administration Bible, covers the essentials anyone charged with administering SolidWorks in a production engineering environment needs to know to be successful.

I ordered my copy of the book last weekend and it arrived just in time for me to spend the weekend giving it a read.  The book comes in at 550 plus pages and covers an extensive list of topics that a CAD administrator needs to know to keep their engineering department up and running with their SolidWorks software implementation.

Wiley Publishing has the table of contents posted here: http://media.wiley.com/product_data/excerpt/64/04705372/0470537264-1.pdf

In Matt's usual style this is not a book for beginners.  It is not a step by step, push this button tutorial.  Matt assumes the reader of the book will be an experienced SolidWorks user or IT professional who has been tasked with getting their company's SolidWorks implementation up and running smoothly for their users.

The book offers plenty of practical advice and recommendations, with the pro and con reasoning behind the recommendations.  Much of this advice is based on Matt's actual experience in the industry in helping companies get SolidWorks up and running.

From my perspective as a design engineer using SolidWorks the better part of everyday, who also wears the CAD admin hat for my company, Matt covers all the key topics in a well organized, easy to read style.  This book should be essential reading for anyone who has the duties of SolidWorks CAD administrator.

You can purchase the book from Amazon, or better yet, head over to Matt's blog and purchase the book directly from him.  The links for purchasing the book are at the bottom of the right sidebar at Matt's blog.  http://www.dezignstuff.com/blog/?p=2754
