Feedback from readers of 'Teach Yourself MicroStation/J' (TYMSJ) began coming in soon after the book was published in January 1999. A select collection of reader feedback from across the world-wide user-base of Bentley's MicroStation provides information on whether the book's content resonated with them, and when it did, what it was that resonated. That feedback is chronicled in this blog and is followed by a reprint of the book's Preface and a listing of the book's Table of Contents. Should you be interested in acquiring a reprint of any chapter from the book 'TYMSJ' for a $10USD fee, leave us a note on our Contact Us page.

'I had my 15 year old son read the Introduction to Teach Yourself MicroStation/J to give him an idea of what I lived through, also to inspire him with your documentary of the Bentley brothers. He is looking to follow an engineering career in the future, but had no idea what an engineering degree could do for him. You provided him with valuable insight into possibilities he had no idea existed. Thank you.'

Steven R. Couture, Principal, Technology Enhancement Services, Camus, WA

Preface to Teach Yourself MicroStation by Ray Bentley

Over the last dozen years, MicroStation has evolved from a relatively simple drafting program to become a mission-critical platform for the creation of design information for large engineering projects throughout the world. The introductory chapter of Teach Yourself MicroStation/J does an outstanding job of chronicling this evolution. With the release of MicroStation/J, and the impending delivery of ProjectBank and Engineering Component Modeling, we are poised to make a more revolutionary step with benefits that far exceed those realized when computers first replaced the tee-squares and drafting boards.

I have reviewed the manuscript of Teach Yourself MicroStation/J and am truly impressed with the attention to detail, and the breadth of coverage it provides. It takes new users by the hand and teaches them basic concepts through step-by-step exercises. It addresses the needs of CAD administrators with detailed information on everything from translation to standards implementation. Teach Yourself MicroStation/J can also serve as a corporate programmer?s introduction to all the programming interfaces in MicroStation, including JMDL.

The author, Ranjit S. Sahai, a professional engineer, has been authoring MicroStation texts since 1992. His knowledge of MicroStation, versatility as a writer, and experience as a workshop leader and trainer at Bentley FORUMs is clearly evident throughout the book. As we all prepare to make the transition from Computer Aided Drafting to Engineering Enterprise Modeling, we are truly fortunate to have an author and engineer of Ranjit's caliber to help lead the way.
