5.0 out of 5 stars Essential for ABAPers, July 31, 2006
This review is from: Foundations of Java for ABAP Programmers (Hardcover)
I've been an SAP ABAP programmer for nearly 10 years and am very comfortable with the traditional SAP programming model. My exposure to Java has been limited but when SAP announced that their latest version of SAP Web Application Server (WAS) would include a Java stack I knew it was time to dust off those old Core Java volumes I had lying around. However Java is a moving target and my Java 1.2 manuals are hopelessly out of date. A friend suggested I take a look at this book.

The Object Oriented extensions to ABAP were based on Java so a lengthy tome on all the ins and outs of Java was not what I was looking for. I needed something concise and to the point that would not "talk down to me" but would get me up to speed quickly on what I needed to know about Java from an SAP programmer's point of view.

I really believe that this is that book. Mr Rooney covers a very large subject at a fair pace and with a good sense of humor that keeps the reader engaged. Topics are explained from a SAP programmer's point of view (as per the book's title) which in itself is quite unique. Even the complex subject of EJBs is explained with just the right amount of info.

Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent read, May 1, 2006
This review is from: Foundations of Java for ABAP Programmers (Hardcover)
I have had the pleasure of working with the author personally. We had the opportunity of bringing him in to a client to help convert their ABAP staff to Java knowledgeable ABAPers. So I know first hand that he knows what he talks about. He gives an excellent class too.
I own this book and as a fellow SAP professional I can only highly recommend it. I have used it and will continue to use it until I get the Java thing down.
Excellent effort.

3.0 out of 5 stars Watch for repeated and reprinted mistypes!, July 2, 2011
This review is from: Foundations of Java for ABAP Programmers (Hardcover)
I had a copy of this book once and it took me less than one minute to hit on one mistake that reprinted on two subsequent pages (25-26).
It shows:
byte a = (byte) 0x0e; // 15 in hex

What?! The 0x0e is 14 in hex! I guess that the author meant to say:
byte a = (byte) 0x0f; // 15 in hex

Probably to finish that book for ABAP ASAP they copy-pasted a lot of text.

So -- Watch for mistypes!... because I am quite sure there are more surprises)))
