 Not worth it IMO September 22, 2007

Buy the book if you like, but for me an ABAP programmer w/10+ years experience it was just fluff. A couple hundred pages of hearing how great Netweaver is and what it could do, w/o actual hands-on is not IMO what a 'Dummies' book is meant to be. The included CD was even less.
 Very good survey of SAP NetWeaver August 19, 2007

This is the first "for Dummies" book I have read and I was very pleased. The authors did an excellent job explaining all of the elements of SAP NetWeaver and how they inter-relate. As a business executive trying to get my arms around the technology, this was exactly what I needed. It will be valuable reference for the future, as well.

1)I might have sat with the book if not for their jokes
2)The terminolgy used in definitions and in examples is different.
3)Repeating stuff that is not at all useful.
4)The paragraghs of repition wont work but i dont understand how the pictures also dont work
5)I sincerely request the authors to stop writing text books.
Good content, if you're patient and willing to sift for it July 25, 2005

While the book's attempt at humor irritates me, I still manage to find good information. The author covers a lot of material. Some of it is way too simplistic. Some of it is not deep enough in my opinion. I've picked it up a few times and put it back down, but won't toss it. That being said, I'm still looking for seomthing better (SAP Press doesn't have anything actually good either, despite some new titles).
The presentation stinks July 20, 2005

I got this book to get myself more educated on what SAP Netweaver is all about. I've been doing SAP consulting for over ten years but, like others, feel like I'm not up-to-date with the latest SAP Technologies and products.
After carrying this book around with me for over two months, I'm still not done with it. This is because I keep on getting irritated when I read this book and then I put it down. And I'm not easily irritated. I think I'm at the point where I'm going to put it in a box (with many other books that I DID read) and read something else instead. This book is just wasting my time.
Here's my problems with this book:
1. The writers try to be funny/entertaining all the time. I do like humor, but they do it way, way too much and they are not funny at all.
2. Some of the things they discuss are simple, basic, worthless information that any IT person knows.
3. They make Netweaver seem easy, all-good and the future of IT. I love SAP and I think Netweaver is probably a good platform. But I think this book is overselling it and making unproven claims that may mislead less-experienced people.
This book could have been good if the (useful) content was offered in a different way. Some suggestions if a second edition materializes.
1. Don't try to be funny. Just present the material.
2. Leave out all the unnecessary, useless information. You're not obligated to go over 400 pages. I'd prefer to read a thinner book with just the relevant information.
I don't always give the lowest rating for things I don't like. And this book does have some useful information here and there. But the presentation is just so terrible to me that it makes whatever good it has worthless.
