Reviews | ||
Not enough. I attended the ABAP academy and received certification. Prior to the academy I read this book. I found it to be better than nothing but other students found the ABAP Objects book to be more current. The ABAP Object book also provides a demo R3 system. This allows the student to practice at home and be more creative. Win 2000 and MS SQL 2000 are required for the demo version. Go with ABAP Objects. | ||
Good Reference It is a good book as a reference, but not advisable as a tutorial. | ||
A good primer and resource to turn to This book is a great primer for those who have some general programming knowlege, and who are self starters. I have gone through three other similar books, and found this to be the most useful. It will get you started, but you will quickly yearn for more meat and examples, which can be found in the next book in the series. | ||
Better books available Though it does say introduction to ABAP I guess I was expecting more, for instance the book dosn't even review the ABAP editor until a three page appendix in the back of the book. Many pages of the book are wasted repeating program code but never really reviewing what is going on. There never really is a mention of how to manipulate tables in this book so if you need to work with anything other then internal tables (who doesn't) you'll have to find the information elsewhere. | ||
Old Version of SAP Like every other book for ABAP beginners, this one only covers version 3.x of SAP. We're installing 4.6b, so I'm not sure how much it will help. If you have the 3.x version of SAP, it's not a bad book. | ||
