I got an email last week from Jim Stewart about his new book. For those who don’t know who Jim is let me give some background information. Jim is the author of a lot books in the Breaking into SAP series. His books are targeted to newbies in the SAP field and the books help to answer a lot of the questions that newcomers to SAP have.
So back to the new book. It is called SAP training and tutorials : Introduction and Basic skills I was very interested in this information so I went over to his website and bought the book. I would like to give a review and tell you what I think about it.
The introduction
I really like the introduction into the book. The author goes ahead to reveal some issues that newbies face when talking to current SAP professionals about getting training. They always come with a reluctance to release information.
Another issue spoken about in the introduction is the problem of getting initial work experience. Most people you talk to give you the advice of getting a company that will employ you and train you as a way of breaking into the SAP world but these so-called “I will train you” companies are nowhere to be found. The book highlights these issues and more which resonated with me.
SAP GUI Walkthrough
The book then goes into an introduction to SAP and then after that shows you how you can navigate through the SAP GUI which is SAP’s software portal to configure and implement SAP solutions.
I haven’t gone through the whole book yet but till now I am liking what I see. If you want to get the book, you can go over to the SAP Cookbook site. This is not an affiliate link and I am not getting any compensation for referring you. I am just sharing resources I am personally using to get my SAP training.
If you do ge the book, I would like to know your thoughts. Please come back and leave a comment. If you already have some books from Jim or the SAP cookbook site, let us know about your thoughts as well.
