5.0 out of 5 stars
excellent exercise guide,
By A Customer
This review is from: PeopleSoft Step By Step (Paperback)
This is an excellent exercise guide for those who prefer to study at their own pace. It is a great alternative to the PeopleSoft courses themselves that are often lengthy and expensive. PeopleSoft Step By Step will guide you through planned exercises that will quickly familiarize the student with the Application. You will learn by doing the exercises. This book is a good choice for those who do not have the time to attend a class and is also an excellent reference book for the technical user. The steps are clearly explained in this clear and concise guide which will allow even a beginner to use and understand the PeopleSoft Application. I would recommend this book to someone who is not yet familiar with the PeopleSoft Application because it is a great learning tool.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A great Book for a beginner !!,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: PeopleSoft Step By Step (Paperback)
This book is meant for those beginners who have access to PeopleSoft and are interested in getting their feet wet in PeopleSoft in a matter of days. This book cuts to the chase (pardon the cliche) and tells you what option to click on when the App Designer menu opens, what icons to use and how to get started right away ! I completed the book in about a week's time by spending an hour on it everyday. I can now 'talk' PeopleSoft. But it does not cover PeopleCode (it states clearly that it does not, in the introduction) and yes, it is Version 7.5. There are some typos but any attentive reader can handle those. Read this book and then go on to any advanced PeopleSoft Developer's book. That experience will be much better. I tried to read an advanced book first, did'nt work. Read this one first.

An Easy Step by Step,
This review is from: PeopleSoft Step By Step (Paperback)
Being familiar with the Microsoft Step by Step series of books I selected this study guide on PeopleSoft and I was not disappointed. It's easy to follow with clear instructions and screen shots. The text doesn't bog you down with paragraph after paragraph of background descriptions and other information you don't need or care about. It gets right to the meat of the instruction. It has easy to follow exercises as well. The information in Part 2 covering the Application Designer was an added bonus. Part 3 covering access privileges, and importing data from outside sources was also extremely helpful. The only drawback was the requirement of having the HRMS database single-user version installed on my PC. Perhaps that should have been made clear in the book description. But the book suited my purposes and I highly recommend it as an excellent resource.
