Format:Hardcover
The author seems to know his subject well but the presentation is very poor. Much space is wasted justifying the order in which the information is presented. I found several sections with useful headings which only told me that the item in the heading was not the same as some other item: they gave no positive information at all.
Sentences are long and rambly. Some technical words seem to be spelled in German though they have standard English equivalents.

A book for people wishing to do learn ABAP. Having read several books on the topics, I would say that this one is the most complete that you can find on the market. Furthermore, if you know other languages or if you have got a bit of patience this book represents the only way to access the real world ABAP, the one that you actually need to work. Maybe this is not the easiest book on the topic, but if you can't cope with its complexity, I think you will never be able to work properly on ABAP.

Still trying to figure this out
27 April 1999
Format:Hardcover
The book would be good for someone who has started the programming of ABAP/4. However if you are a new comer to this you will find it difficult and having to flip to this chart on page ?? then to this chart on page ?? makes it even more difficult. If you want to learn the basics this is not the book to buy. After I learn somemore in the programming stage of my training I might make a new review.But if your a beginner to SAP as I am stay away from this for now!!

This book is VERY good, but only for the experience pgmmer.
19 Dec 1997
Format:Hardcover
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.

Excellent, in-depth... a real tip
15 July 1998
Format:Hardcover
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!
