Summary: Gets the Job Done
Review: Criticism of this book is tempered by keeping one important fact in mind; I found all that I needed to begin developing and customizing WorldSoftware applications without the need for formal J.D. Edwards education. So, the author did a thorough job while sometimes wasting words on overblown praise for the product, overemphasizing the value of the report writers, and repeating his confusing practice of picking topics up in the middle, only to provide the necessary information later. I don't have a similar book to compare it to but I must admit that this one is all that I have needed thus far.

Summary: WorldSoftware: An Adminstrator's Guide
Review: Having worked with World software for a number of years, I thought I had a pretty good understanding of JD Edwards. I was somewhat surprised when I started reading the book. It gave me a far better appreciation for the product than I had before, and gave me some real insight into how the system fits together. In the past, whenever I tried to sharpen my skills, I have had to plod through the standard documentation that JD Edwards provides. This book cuts right to the chase. It describes how to work with the software, what to do, and how to do it. If your working with World, get this book!

Summary: Good Dreamwriter description
Review: One of the problems I have with World is understanding how to work with the reporting facilities. This book does a good job describing the dreamwriter and how to create new versions, and how to work with the dreamwriter controls.

Summary: Administrator's Guide
Review: This is a well rounded and well thought out book on world software. The book begins with an overview of JDE and its products, starting with world software (the subject of the book) and then oneworld software, (the newer JDE software product). The book describes at a high level how to begin, manage, and execute projects, such as modifying applications or creating interfaces to applications outside of JDE. It then describes in detail how to work with the software, make changes, optimize an AS/400, and other maintenance issues. Finally, the book discusses what you need to know if you intend to upgrade your system to oneworld. A number of things in the book were particularly helpful to me. For example, working with JDE batch processes, and the troubleshooting section were helpful. The authors, Panza and Edelstein seem to know the product inside out and communicate information effectively.
