form·Z by design:
a brief tutorial
The first book on the market for form·Z software is now in a third edition which encompasses all the upgrades to form·Z version 5.5. The book is written at the introductory level and is appropriate as a supplemental part of a course, as the basis for a short course, or independently as the main text. Instructors at a number of schools have informed us that new courses have been established due to the availability of this book!
The material is presented in the context of an exploration of basic design ideas. The book then follows the process of designing a project as the setting to learn the software.
