Good Intro to BO Reporter Book,
By
This review is from: BusinessObjects in a Day (Paperback)
This book is perfect for someone looking for a way to get up to speed in BO quickly. In comparing it to BO's official End User Reporting course(s) content, it covers all topics - even through the Advanced features - in 11 short chapters (18-35 pages each) with exercises. Yes, there are some typos, but none so bad that your ability to learn the content is hindered. As a novice, I wasn't able to get through the book in one day, but I really liked the ability to go at my own pace (vs. being slowed down by the classroom). I especially liked how, as they built on the content, they referred back to specific page numbers of past lessons if you needed a refresher. I didn't like the paperback format, so I went to Kinko's and had the spine cut off so I could drop the pages into my own 3-ring binder > much easier to flip. Other than that, the only other negative I found was that if you don't have access to Designer, the CD-Rom with the sample database is useless. I hope that Noscentia will publish a book for the Administrative end of BO (Designer, Supervisor) in the near future.

Good fast intro to BO,
By F. Yelsin-Bridgens (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: BusinessObjects in a Day (Paperback)
Neat book - due to budget cuts we used the course instead of a class for our accounting team who are excel addicts ! - we thought it would be a hard sell but they liked it a lot and are up to speed with Business Objects. Book has 11 chapters and some neat tips in the back section. I recommend it as a good book to pick up Business Objects if you have no previous experience

Useful well written introduction to BO,
By Gene LaCross (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: BusinessObjects in a Day (Paperback)
Excellent book - really liked the graphics on every page. Examples are clear and there is lots of useful material to read through. I used it as a course to begin with and now find myself referring back to examples and tips repeatedly. I did not notice any abundance of spelling mistakes referred to by other amazon reviewers, I did notice however a European style of writing but that can hardly be considered incorrect ! Altogether this book surpasses any other Business Objects introduction course available on the market that I have looked at and I think is good value for the price considering it is specialty material. Two of my colleagues also read the book instead of taking a starter class and are now up and running with the product building and formatting their own reports.
