Writing SAP ABAP/4 Programs

Rating:
Summary: Well written and very to-the-point
Review: "Writing SAP ABAP/4 Programs" is a well written textbook. I disagree with another reader's comment that it is just a "Hello World" book. Hoffman provides excellent program examples and explanations.

Summary: Exellent book for beginners, esp. without progr. background
Review: A person who just starts his programming experience and it happenes to be ABAP/4 may find a well-organized way how to code some programming task. However, after initial exposure to ABAP/4 the person should run away from this book in order to get in-depth understanding of coding complex applications. The strong side of the book: consistency in conveying the material to novice programmers; the weak point: there's not a clear statement whom it's addressed for.

Rating:
Summary: Lack of depth
Review: If you are looking to write only "Hello World" in ABAP then this is your book. But if your job is to write production code then use the SAP online documentation or Ruediger and Wolfgang's book.

Review: It is showing very good ABAP programming technique. It it mostly covering BDC programming and drill-down reporting (which I think is very cool).

Summary: Good book, BUT ...
Review: This is a well written book and makes easy reading, BUT it does not cover topics such as dialog programs, table controls, transactions, etc. I found this shortcoming to be a major disappointment.
