A good basic book
Doesn't require any background beyond being to read a ladder diagram. No PLC experience is required or assumed. It won't make you an expert but it will get you started with Studio 5000.

Helpful and Informative.
A very straight forward guidebook to learn PLC Programming using RSLOGIX 5000 that even a beginner like myself was able to understand most of the part right away. The images do the wonders on guiding me for each step! I don't have any dislikes on this book but what I hope for is he has a YouTube channel in which he can shares information and instructions with a video but all is good.

Fantastic for those that've read the RSLogix500 book by this author beforehand
Got this in addition to the author's other work, "PLC Programming: A Practical Guide to Ladder Logic & The RSLogix 500 Environment." I would highly recommend reading book before this one, as it provides more necessary information for beginners to grasp before moving into the Studio 5000 Platform. Used this to write my first programs on a Compact Logix PLC.

Good
Good book. Made for people who are deciding to go into PLC programming or just started and want an overview. I think its very handy book to read before an interview for a entry level PLC programmer position. Would like 1-2 more examples.

easy, great for a beginner but with some useful information
Perhaps a simple manual not for those who knows A-B plc but if you want to learn to program or, like me, if you have not used them for a long time, this book is a valid and quick help. I found quickly what I needed to fix some things and I am grateful to the author for that. The price / quality ratio is very positive.

Very good reference for beginner and intermediate learners
This is a great book for beginners in PLC programming. What is especially useful is the examples of ladder logic programming. I would recommend to the author to add a few more examples, and to provide a more fulsome explanation of the assumptions used for each ladder program.
