ABAP Objects An Introduction to Programming SAP Applications
Easy to follow, SAP software included!
Lots of fun! Great book for beginning ABAP programmers or SAP users.
ABAP book good but CDs need help
This book seems to be well written and informative. If you are like me you like to learn by example and coding yourself. This is the method the authors suggest and I agree.
They look as if they start with some basics. They also tell you up front that the book is not a book that is best suited for starting from the beginning and going to the end.
The problem I have with the purchase of this book is the CDs. To me the CDs and the minisap basis system is what pushed me to buy this particular book. The CDs and the minisap system will load. It will not happen without a bunch of problems. The help for loading is very poor. It might would help if there were some actual pages at the end of the help links. Every reference I had to a URL ended up taking me to a link selling more books or no where. A site is supposed to be dedicated to the minisap system but I could not get to it.
If you can get the CDs to load correctly(that is possible!) then you have a good useful book. If not it depends on how you learn. For me it is more difficult.
Good Book… but you have some troubles for Win XP
I Liked this book. But I had some troubles to install it fully operation at Windows XP (at Windows 2000 worked fine).
I created a homepage with some tips to install it on Windows XP, and the first program: www.autocom.com.br/erick/abapobjects

Software included (minisap) does not work with XP?!,
Book seems to be all right at first!
The software that comes along with the book, does not work with windows-xp if xp has all of the latest upgrades and patches from microsoft!?.
The so called “Object list” will not show!
There are patches available for MiniSAP to cure this problem, but it is impossible to get the patches to minisap witout a licence, and you don’t get a licence along with minisap!????
What a waste off money and time! I should have read these reviews before buying the useless book and software!
Shame on the SAP comunity and on the authors of this book
Amazon.com should warn buy’ers with “up to date XP” on their computer!
