Customer Reviews

This is the only Intro book available to SAP R/3
This is the only intro book available on SAP R/3. The book is on the way of getting outdated. The screen shots in the book and Real life screen shots (SAP 4.6 C or D) differ a lot. From this book, one does not learn much except navigation of SAP's various modules. It also gives some basic ideas abt using SAP system. This book is aimed at the end user and not for wannabe SAP Consultant.

A piece of the puzzle.....
While I appreciate what Larocca was trying to accomplish, the book has a number of shortcomings. It's dated, and therefore focused on what's becoming only a small piece of the SAP software story. And it's audience seems to vary from chapter to chapter. Of the 10+ books I have dealing with SAP, I put this one in the middle of the pack - I was compelled to finally pick up a copy (used, please!) given that it continues to top the best sellers. But I must say that if you really want to learn SAP from a technical, implementation, or administration perspective, you need to keep looking. I'll rarely flip through the pages of Teach Yourself again, but know from the dog-eared pages in my books by Jacobs/Whybark and G Anderson that really good books - ones that probably have a better claim to teaching you anything in 24 hours - exist.

Great Book for people interested in getting involved in SAP.
I heard that SAP is a skill in large demand in the business and technology job market and I wanted to learn more about it. This book covered so much of what I needed to know and had so many pictures that take you through the system. Unlike 2 other books I bought - it is not just a high level overview - it actually takes you in to the system and walks you through each of the different parts explaining as it goes. It also has quizzes at the end of each chapter to test what you've learned. It is a good book.
