ABAP/4, Second Edition: Programming the SAP(R) R/3(R) System (2nd Edition)

Rating:
Summary: This book is VERY good, but only for the experience pgmmer.
Review: 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.

Summary: "Heavy" book
Review: This book should NOT be your first ABAP book. However, if you want to differentiate yourself by learning more advanced concepts this is the only ABAP programming book I have found to-date that I would call somewhat 'advanced'.

Summary: Good Reference Book
Review: This is a handy book for quick referencing. It is clearly laid out with SAP keywords highlighted in bold. I would recommend this book for any experienced ABAP programmer who needs a 'comfort' book.

Summary: "Heavy" book
Review: Very analytical. Long sentence, long paragraph writing. It is helpfull only if you read it from the first to last page. Not a reference. More like bed time book
