Good but confusing and missing details

This has some good features but needs to be more step by step. I believe the author wrote this thinking it would be for beginners but it’s not efficient. I wasted a lot of time trying to figure out how to do stuff. While some of that is good, it took a lot longer then it should’ve if the author was more specific.

Good

For those that like learning via book, this is a solid introduction to Fusion 360. Uses the old UI, not the newer one.

Find a different book, you will only get lost with this one.

To many omissions and steps skipped.

A Vague and Frustrating Experience

I purchased this book early in the week from No Starch Press' website and was excited to dive in to learning Fusion 360, something I've wanted to do since getting a 3D printer a little over a year ago. Unfortunately, this book makes for a poor introduction to Fusion 360 and will likely leave novice and new learners frustrated and confused.I am a pretty tech-savvy person, and have had minor exposure to CAD over the last decade in my career. Nevertheless, it didn't seem to help with this book. The author speaks only vaguely of what buttons to click, often skipping over meaningful steps, and makes no attempts to explain the theory behind different aspects of 3D modeling. Truly, I found it shocking how little instructional material is in this book given its title. Even the early exercises involving making a box and a bead gloss over entire sub-steps that will leave readers scratching their head.The exercises in the book often left me confounded, with the author stating "do X here, then add Y" but X and Y were never touched on in any prior lessons or exercises. This slows the pace of learning down dramatically, because you are left Googling for how to do something or going to YouTube, at which point you have to ask: why am I even using this book?I own many No Starch books, most of which are about Python Programming, Data Science, and Math, and this book fails to hold a candle to any of them in terms of quality and educational value. How this book made it past the editors and reviews is beyond me.

Does exactly what it says on the tin.

Skimpy, dry and very basic.

I usually enjoy books by No Starch Press but I can't recommend this book. It's skimpy, dry and very basic.If you've ever played around with Fusion 360 for a few hours then you already know most of the functions that this book is describing. It's mostly a description of various functions. There are a couple of simple design examples - but nothing inspiring.I also bought the Fusion 360 book by Ascent (4th edition) which is a much better tutorial. It's far more comprehensive and definitely worth the extra money.
