My book was not written for beginners, but I have been told by many that it is as helpful for beginners as those with 30 years under their belts. I wrote it in conversational style, not some stuffy book.
Ron Winters harsh (maybe even brutal) criticism is the ONLY negative review I have received in the three years it has been in print. At the ICS website you can read glowing reviews by some of the most well-respected leaders of the Scheduling Practice in the world.
With so much positive review, one has to wonder whether it is Ron who simply "didnt get it." Please check out the reviews at the ICS website, and contact any of the testimonials, to satisfy yourself that it is worth your time and money to read it.
Anyone who has scheduler more than three projects will definitely get much out of it. But then again, Im a little biased!!!
It is a very simple book. If you have the 8 years experience in planning which is the per-requist for the exam, then you will do great. Just review the basics of planning and scheduling from any book you have and the sources online.

Dear Murray,
Your website is filled with useful information. I think that your contribution to the Scheduling World is obvious.
We were giving advice to a planner/ scheduler who wanted more information to climb up the ladder.
I think that for an advanced reader, it is good to invest the money and time in knowing what you want to say and advice others to do.
With kind regards,
Samer
