Enterprise Java for SAP

Summary: Great way to keep marketable
Review: I found the book really helpful. It didn't bog down into all the exceptions and special cases in Java. It was easy to read and straight forward. It covers new developments in Java and SAP, like using Apache Struts. I found the examples to be helpful. The thing that was most important to me was the fact the book introduced me to new technology that was relevant to me, where I want to go, and where I think the market will be going too.

Review: I have to say that I completely disagree with the prior review. I found this book to be both helpful and insightful. Not to mention, it was actually enjoyable to read. APress continues to publish some great texts.

Summary: Another bad SAP Book
Review: It seems that the ratio of bad SAP books to good ones is about 99 to 1. This book, from a publisher who usually produces quality books, is of little use to a Java programmer, who could learn as much from the JCO sample code, and of no use to the ABAP programmer who will only get into deep trouble fast. After a terrible discussion of the JCO library, the author then moves on to a bad discussion of the Jakarta Struts framework, which is a book by itself. Save the money, people.

Summary: Don't be mislead by the title....
Review: This book was such a waste of money!

I don't want to read about general, simple concepts regarding Java on SAP that I can easilly read in either the SAP Java documentation or any standard doc for different related products.

When one buys a book like this you would expect to get some information out of it that would be hard to find or put together from other sources. Not reworked text from standard sources discussing the MVC pattern or Struts.

The only audience that could have any, even minor, benefit of this book is the SAP developer who hasn't heard about OO or Java before and just wants to quickly understand some of the basic concepts (without any specific details).
