2.0 out of 5 stars Still trying to figure this out, April 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: ABAP/4: Programming the SAP(R) R/3(R) System (Hardcover)

The book would be good for someone who has started the programming of ABAP/4. However if you are a new comer to this you will find it difficult and having to flip to this chart on page ?? then to this chart on page ?? makes it even more difficult. If you want to learn the basics this is not the book to buy. After I learn somemore in the programming stage of my training I might make a new review.But if your a beginner to SAP as I am stay away from this for now!!

4.0 out of 5 stars This book is VERY good, but only for the experience pgmmer., December 18, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: ABAP/4: Programming the SAP(R) R/3(R) System (Hardcover)

This book is very good, but only for experience programmer who have access to SAP 3.0C (or later) and with six month of ABAP/4 experience (or better). This book will be a waste of time and money for everybody else. It is not a reference or concept type of book but HOW-TO w/ screen example. 90% of the NOVICE and SAP Functional people will not get anything out of this book. This is the type of book I needed 3 years ago when I first started programming with SAP ABAP/4. Get, read and understand the 'Developing SAP R/3 Applications' by Kretschmer before buying this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, in-depth... a real tip, July 15, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: ABAP/4: Programming the SAP(R) R/3(R) System (Hardcover)

This book doesn't try to make ABAP simpler than it is in reality. It treats the language in detail, and doesn't try to hide its many quirks. And despite the detail level, everything is put nicely into context.

If you want to become a very good technical ABAP programmer, this book is the only choice. But you probably need some programming experience before you can read it.

Way to go Mr. Matzke!
