About the Author
Since being introduced to Business Objects in 1993, Robert Schmidt has consulted at hundreds of companies throughout the world. He has worked in many different environments and businesses. Each place he has worked adds to his total knowledge of Business Objects and Business Intelligence in general. He has taken this knowledge and has written several well accepted books on Business Objects. Robert Schmidt has also trained tens of thousands of people to use Business objects applications to create Universes and reports. Since most of this training is on-site at the companies, he learns about different systems and techniques. Again, he takes this experience and knowledge and tries to put it in his books so that others can benefit. Mr. Schmidt was conferred a Bachelor of Science in Engineering from the University of Florida in 1990. While at the University of Florida, he studied robotic engineering and even built a gantry robot of his own design. He also formally studied Financial Engineering at Brooklyn Polytechnic University.

Finally a BO Universe Instructor is Here, Superb Job !,
This review is from: Business Objects XI: Creating Universes with Designer XI (Paperback)
Again, Robert Schmidt did a superb job with his BO
Universe Designer book. I've found answers right away to many questions I had in mind for long time! I could have gone to heavy BO documentation, but Robert's book saved my time, a lot of time! He gives very good examples on report context (previous book) and universe context. I specially like his examples for fan and chasm traps. The video is so efficient in teaching! Also we can see graphs better with the new landscape format, thank you so much Robert for making this subject easier! Hope to see more book by you !

Useful, but lock yourself away,

This review is from: Business Objects XI: Creating Universes with Designer XI (Paperback)
While there are pieces of this book that are very useful for Universe newbies, like myself, there are far too many things that have been left out. It's obvious that this book is based on Mr Schmidt's training class since things that you would see in person (like intermediate steps taken to get from A to D) are not in the book itself. You have to rely too heavily on the video segments that are on the CD to fill in the gaps - video should augment the text, not replace it.

This review is from: Business Objects XI: Creating Universes with Designer XI (Paperback)
This is the third book I have bought by Robert Schmidt. I learned to design reports from his book "Creating documents with Business Objects". It is an excellent resource book. I learned to design advance level reports using his book and I always keep it as a reference. In Business Objects, the Help menu does not offer much help when you look for answers. His book is a better resource then the BO Documentation. He has explained everything in a very clear and concise manner.
In his book and CBT on "Business Objects XI: Creating Universes with Designer XI", again he has done a marvelous job in explaining basic but important aspects of creating universes. I would highly recommend both the book (for reference) and CBT( to learn faster and have a better understanding of concepts). He has given good examples on report context and universe context. The presentations are very clear. The real world examples make is so much easier to understand the concepts. I am very much impressed by the author . Whenever I had a problem, he immediately answered my questions with the explanations. He will go an extra mile and will even call you to help you out. So, rest assure your investment will not be wasted.
