5.0 out of 5 stars Fill in the gap between classes and on the job training, June 16, 2001
By 
W. Rodgers (TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Essential Guide to PeopleSoft Development and Customization (Paperback)
For many of us, attending PeopleSoft classes are a luxury. Often technical manuals are not available at work. Maybe you're in between jobs or assignments and want to polish up certain areas of expertise that you haven't had an opportunity to work with recently.

The Essential Guide does all this and more. I have taken PS 5.0 technical classes and worked with 7.5 for several years, but this is the first book that I have come across that fills the gaps on Tools I, II, Peoplecode, COBOL, and App Engine. You can't find this kind of information anywhere else. The only way to beat this book is to be able to sit down in a room with the original PeopleSoft developers.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have development tool, September 12, 2000
By 
Cindy Finnigan (New Milford, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Essential Guide to PeopleSoft Development and Customization (Paperback)
The authors of this book are very technical and knowledgeable on the subject at hand. One in particular, Prakash Sankaran, has attended annually the PeopleSoft Conference where he has presented materials on Cobol, SQR, PeopleTools, and PeopleCode. In addition, he has presented materials at the PeopleSoft Northeast Regional User group meetings. He knows first hand the traps that developers encounter in customizing the application. PeopleSoft supplies the tools to use; this book supplies the tips and techniques to get the job done.

5.0 out of 5 stars Experts at Your Fingertips, January 19, 2001
By 
Angela Collins (West Linn, OR USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Essential Guide to PeopleSoft Development and Customization (Paperback)
As soon as I heard about this book, I placed an order. I have read and re-read this book several times. The authors give expert advice. I use it often as supporting evidence. It is like having several experts at your fingertips.

This is not a re-hash of the PeopleSoft courses. It goes beyond. The tips are full of years of insight. Some of PeopleSoft's technical courses make you feel that you can customize all you want. This book give you practical tips to avoid many of the customization pitfalls. I know I went through many myself and learned a great deal. If I had this book on my first implementation, I could have avoided pitfalls by applying the tips in this book.

This book de-mystifies PeopleSoft's COBOL. The explanation is thourough and very readable. Previously, I thought of the COBOLs as black boxes. Now, I have a better understanding of how they work.

I think I will never finish reading the book as I keep getting more information from it. I think sometimes I am not ready to hear what is said until a later date. I really think this book is filling a void and will be greatly appreciated. It is a very insightful book.
