3.0 out of 5 stars Should be called Application Designer Overview instead., July 27, 1999

By 

Srini "sxa" (Sacramento, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Peoplesoft Developer's Handbook (Paperback)

Of the 592 pages, 460 are devoted to the Application Designer (PeopleTools). The remaining cover Peoplecode, SQR, Crystal,Nvision Configuration manager and a tiny bit on upgrades. I would hardly call it a Handbook as all it does is go through an example.

Having taken Peopletools 1 and 2 from Peoplesoft, this book was review material only. This is a good refresher however, but unlike Oracle you cant really practice unless your company actually has Peoplesoft that they let you play with.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good book for beginners., January 5, 2000

By 

Sam Price (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Peoplesoft Developer's Handbook (Paperback)

I am new to PeopleSoft and enjoyed the book as it provided hands-on learning, however, there were so many type-o's that it was quite frustrating trying to follow along. Also, I wish more topics had been covered in the detail that Application Designer was covered. If you want to learn any PeopleTools other than AppDesigner, this is not your book. The sections on nVision, Query, and PeopleCode are lacking to say the least.

3.0 out of 5 stars Typos, typos, typos..., August 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Peoplesoft Developer's Handbook (Paperback)

Overall good introduction to the Applications Designer, but loaded with typos. Screen shots make up the bulk of the book. Very repetative text which is good for beginers but cumbersome for itermediates and advanced developers.
