Overall, Taha Mahmoud wrote a great book that kept me intrigued to keep reading even though I have been working with Universes for almost 10 years.
SAP BusinessObjects suite contains a big bunch of programs for Business Intelligence and even ETL development. Someone needs a starting point for the successful end-user reporting, and Information Design Tool (IDT) is the point to start building the design infrastructure for the reports.
So, this book is for the IDT (formerly known as Universe Designer). SAP BO has changed program terminology from a release to another, (although the main idea remains the same) so be sure you are working for the right release (you need to have the SAP BO BI 4.x client installed on your machine) before you buy the book.
