I would recommend this book to anyone who's studying landscape architecture. The step by step detailed guides helping you to develop and explore your skills in specific areas like creating digitally rendered plans, perspectives, visualisations, plans and sections, is just amazing how faster you can enhance your skills rather then spending hours in front of the computer trying to figure out how to use the program, not only you get to enhance your skills, techniques digitally it also helps with developing your understanding in different design programs. The outcome work at the end will look as good and professional. Practice makes prefect, once you get the hang of applying the techniques within your work, each and every time you design you will bring in your own style of working around that specific technique.
At first I had difficulties getting the hang of applying the techniques and understanding how the software worked. A tip I will suggest will be first read through the specific technique you want to apply within your work, first read through the steps and familiarise yourself with the tools and the software, second time read through it normally and one the third attempt apply the technique step by step. Yes it might take time but it's a way of taking in the information slowly which will stay with you for the next time you apply the technique.
