First, I have to disagree with the authors when they use words like "easy" or "intuitive" to describe Apple Configurator. If those statements were true I'd have had little reason to buy this book several weeks after beginning to implement an iPad deployment using Apple Configurator. But after reading this book, now I would certify those statements as absolutely true. If, like me, you're going to make your iOS devices managed and deploy paid applications using an Apple VPP account and, if your organization, like mine, utilizes a separate purchaser to buy those applications, then importing the purchased apps into Apple Configurator is anything but intuitive or easy. If only I'd found this book weeks ago, I'd have saved myself countless headaches and saved my organization numerous manhours trying in vain to import paid apps. Alas, after 30 minutes reading this book I replicated their advice flawlessly and now I have a set of managed devices ready for deployment.

Apple Configurator How-to by Charles Edge and TJ Houston is not worth buying. I imagine it might be useful for the total novice, but the guide provided by Apple is much more informative: "IOS Education Deployment Guide." I was looking for a book that picked up where the Apple guide left off, but this book lacks any depth. Instead, the Apple guide picks up where this book leaves off. So, if you are a total novice wanting a simple guide that helps you get started maybe this book might be of use, otherwise, I would not recommend buying this book; it lacks detailed information. Honestly, at $17.92, I feel like I got ripped off. It's worth maybe $3 to $5 at the most.
