SAP R/3 Data Integration Techniques using ABAP/4 and Visual Basic

Summary: Good Code
Review: I found that the five projects were excellent examples of RFC tasks. The code is rather well remarked and quickly implemented. It took me virtually no time to download the projects from the Internet and get them working. From my perspective as a programmer, the example projects saved me significant time while in the 'learning cycle'.
If you're looking for a book on theory, or some verbose work with 10% usable code, you may wish to look elsewhere. But, if you are looking for very usable, relevant code, I would recommend it.

Summary: Waste of many
Review: This book as ONLY 150 pages with BIG letter, almost no images and have no CD-ROM/DVD to suport the code in it. It's a contents is composed by 80% code (which could by the way be on a CD-ROM) and 20% techiqal referes.
Make yourselves a favour, give your money to charity institution insted.
I Rate the value of this book 20 dolars with a free shiping.
AAL!

Summary: 25 pages of text, huh?
Review: Yes, I agree a book can not be judged by the number of pages it has. I mean look at UML Distilled. But, I had certain expectations for the content and that is where the focus should be... not on the fact that if you remove the screen shots, and code you have a book of maybe 25 pages. I purchased Katonka's book thinking I would use it as a guide, but there too many gaps of knowledge and disconnected ideas. I simply couldn't follow the project design and there was very little explanation of what and why. I think Ovanesyan's Visual Basic SAP R/3 Programming is far superior. I had to do some serious searching to find it, but it was worth it.
