Very Good Book for beginners or experts 5 out of 5 stars.
9 of 9 people found this review helpful.

I wish that I had this book when we started our SAP project. This book will help anyone who is thinking about installing or upgrading SAP. It helps explain how SAP software will use the hardware. And how all of the pieces fit together. Even though this book is by HP press it stays true to the theme. They do try and "sell" HP hardware or solutions every once in awhile, but for the most part this book is generic in vendor. You won't go wrong with reading this book or just having it for reference the next time you have to upgrade your hardware or if you are having response problems and need to know how to evaluate your hardware. We have been an SAP customer for six years and have grown up with SAP in the US (started at version 2.1 and have just completed our 4.6 upgrade!).

Editorial Review:

Provides an extensive overview of the hardware needed for a mySAP.com implementation, with a review of sizing techniques for servers, storage, and more. Offers guidance on architecture from IP address structures to cabling infrastructures. Softcover. DLC: SAP R/3.

It is my first book on SAP R/3, it was really helpfull during my college clases.

Editorial Review:

Before use, standard ERP systems such as SAP R/3 need to be customized to meet the concrete requirements of the individual enterprise. This book provides an overview of the process models, methods, and tools offered by SAP and its partners to support this complex and time-consuming process. It begins by characterizing the foundations of the latest ERP systems from both a conceptual and technical viewpoint, whereby the most important components and functions of SAP R/3 are described. The main part of the book then goes on to present the current methods and tools for the R/3 implementation based on newer process models (roadmaps).

Absolutely Perfect - Great Tutorial & Fun Reading 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

Even though the Apple Airport choice is not the cheapest choice, it is the easiest to set up ... but like most people, you are worried about leaving any holes for your neighbors or the guy in a car on the street to ride your bandwidth or worse.

"AirPort and Mac Wireless Networks For Dummies" covers nearly ever setup choice in not only helping you get set up but also what each of the security choices (yes, no, WEP, Multicast, etc, etc ..) means and why or why not to choose that choice.

It's written (as all the Dummies books) by a "normal" person for "normal" people. The Apple Mac setup wizard (unlike Pc ones) included with your purchase of the Airport is actually useful but there are some extra choices in the menus that are explained in greater detail and much clearer here.

There are also simple instructions for those who want to add a router and share a USB printer.

And how to extend the distance of your Airport with additional airports ... and several great chapters explaining the difference between the regular Airport, the Airport Express and how to set it up to stream music or when you go out on the road.

This book explains exactly what it promises and sets out step by step so everything is crystal clear.

It's detailed without giving you too much info and never with jargon that's confusing.

After you get your Airport, buy this book. Your setup will take 15 minutes but you will sleep soundly knowing all your bases are covered.

Editorial Review:

Share printers, play games online, and see how to find a strong signal

Here's an AirPort that won't make you wait! This cool technology makes wireless networking a snap, and with this book, even an adult can do it. You'll see how to set up your network with Mac OS(r) X, add home entertainment toys, take it on the road, and even (sorry!) keep in touch with the office from almost anywhere.

Discover how to:
* Add AirPort to any OS X Mac
* Connect your network to the Internet
* Extend your AirPort network's range
* Show movies and post photos over your network
* Protect your AirPort network from intruders

NOT !! for beginners 2 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

I just got this book and have been trying to read for the last few days. It's dry as toast, and goes into very little detail on how things are done. It will start a new subject and not even gin an explanation as to what it is. Magic wand;, just tell you how to use it, not what it's used for, no examples of what an image looks like before you use it, with another one after so one can see the difference. This is the first review I wrote, but I just had to get the word out. If you're a beginner you need something else, so my quest goes on.

Editorial Review:

Adobe Photoshop is the application of choice for digital image manipulation. However, its armada of palettes and tool bars can be intimidating to Photoshop newcomers. Photoshop X for Windows and Macintosh: Visual QuickStart Guide gives users an accessible, how-to reference guide to basic photo editing, manipulation, optimization, and correction techniques, all referencing the latest release of Photoshop. Beginners don't need to wander through menus or read a great deal of text when using this guide. Extensive pictures and captions reassure them that they are in the correct dialog box, popup menu, or entry field as they do their work. Used as a standard textbook in countless classrooms and as a desktop reference by print and Web graphics professionals everywhere, this is a book that explains Photoshop techniques clearly and quickly.

Editorial Review:

Wi-Fi networking is supposed to be simple. So why do so many people tear their hair out when trying to configure their wireless networks?It's all about the details. In this book, Wi-Fi experts Glenn Fleishman and Adam Engst put AirPort through its paces, teaching you in step-by-step, illustrated examples about how to remove the frustration in your configuration. The book covers the range of your AirPort and Wi-Fi needs, starting with how to pick the appropriate base station and adapter card--Apple is often best, but it's worth considering alternatives. It tells you how to determine the best place for your Wi-Fi equipment, and then how to configure your base station and computer for precisely your needs. A long section explains setting up your own dynamic addressing, a common need for home networks with a mix of computers and needs. Next, the book covers six ways to improve your network's coverage area and range, providing higher speeds at longer distances. Finally, you find out about securing your network: both keeping intruders out and securing the data that passes over the network. Four appendices cover related issues, including AirPort Express configuration, setting up a software base station, using AirPort Management Utilities, and finding the right Wi-Fi adapter for an older Mac or PC.

Regardless of the possible historical significance of this book, the fact remains that Apple officially pulled the plug on E-World as of 3/31/97. One should consider whether reading this book would be an appropriate use of one's time

eWorld was a great online service provider. I read this book... And, I love it. I still keep a copy of eWorld on my PowerMac 6500 and my PowerBook 1400... I think that Apple should bring eWorld back... Until they do, this book can help you see the "eWorld Light".

eWorld was once a great online service. Too bad we can't use it any more. This book really makes it feel like old times again.

It's cool, Jim! 5 out of 5 stars.
