Hello,

My name is David and I work for a defense contractor. I have been given a directive by my company to obtain a fundamental understanding of solidworks. I have ZERO background in any type of 2D or 3D drawing software, exept a brief stint of AutoCAD for a couple of months a few years back. My current duties will be placed on hold for the next 6 months so i cna learn this software. I have already registered with our reseller for Fundamentals1 and 2. Those classes start later this month. Before i go to the classes i would like to purchase a publication so i can study up and come into the class knowing at least a tad bit of the basics. I am asking you guys if you have any recommendations on books for a newcomer like myself to this software.

Thanks!
