Customer Reviews

Excellent, in-depth... a real tip

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!

Good Reference Book

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.

Good book for experienced programmer

If you are a programmer and you look for an abap book this should be your choice. It is the book which goes into the most details between the ones I've seen. Even if you have no experience at all with abap I would choose this book but, again, you must already be a programmer.

Good source for experienced ABAP programmers

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'.

This book is VERY good, but only for the experience pgmmer.

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.
