The book would be good for someone who has started the programming of ABAP/4. However if you are a new comer to this you will find it difficult and having to flip to this chart on page ?? then to this chart on page ?? makes it even more difficult. If you want to learn the basics this is not the book to buy. After I learn somemore in the programming stage of my training I might make a new review.But if your a beginner to SAP as I am stay away from this for now!!

This book is very good, but only for experience programmer who have access to SAP 3.0C (or later) and with six month of ABAP/4 experience (or better). This book will be a waste of time and money for everybody else. It is not a reference or concept type of book but HOW-TO w/ screen example. 90% of the NOVICE and SAP Functional people will not get anything out of this book. This is the type of book I needed 3 years ago when I first started programming with SAP ABAP/4. Get, read and understand the 'Developing SAP R/3 Applications' by Kretschmer before buying this one.

This book doesn't try to make ABAP simpler than it is in reality. It treats the language in detail, and doesn't try to hide its many quirks. And despite the detail level, everything is put nicely into context.

If you want to become a very good technical ABAP programmer, this book is the only choice. But you probably need some programming experience before you can read it.

Way to go Mr. Matzke!

This is a handy book for quick referencing. It is clearly laid out with SAP keywords highlighted in bold. I would recommend this book for any experienced ABAP programmer who needs a 'comfort' book.

I was new to ABAP and went haywire reading this book.This book is someone who already knows ABAP/4 for atleast 6 months or so.Even people with programming background trying to learn ABAP won't get anything from the this book.Infact one gets overwhelmed.THIS IS NOT YOUR FIRST ABAP BOOK !!!!
The pros of the book are 1.it covers dialog programming 2.Sapscripts which most introductory books don't cover.
I would recommend getting SAMS ABAP/4 IN 21 DAYS for someone who wants to learn ABAP basics

Better than most of the published books on ABAP, but still not "experience" oriented. This is a plain ABAP/4 book that gives no more than what you can get from the SAP ABAP/4 online documentation. If you expect a connection to any of the SAP module, you will be disappointed.

This book should NOT be your first ABAP book. However, if you want to differentiate yourself by learning more advanced concepts this is the only ABAP programming book I have found to-date that I would call somewhat 'advanced'.

One of the best books on ABAP/4 . This is not one of those simplistic books that have large typefaces and garish pictures. Has all the technical details that will interest an experienced IT professional.

This is a very good book for people who have some prior experience in SAP systems and ABAP. The book is organized into chapters which are not so continuous but each and every chapter explains itself adequately. This book can be used as a good reference material for core programmers of SAP systems.

The book is a good one for beginners.the topics covered are very comprehensive.For experienced people, the book could be used as a reference in many cases.
