I didnt have a problem with the ipexpert V6 book (havent tried the newest
version). The solution guide was very helpful as well. The other vendors are
all equally well put together, each one has a different approach to teaching
so your mileage may vary depending on your learning style. I bought them all
and pulled equal amounts of great knowledge from all of them...I personally
thing that's the best way to learn this stuff, always keep surprising
yourself.
