Title: Developing PeopleSoft Applications with PeopleTools 8.1 by Joe Weessies ISBN: 0-9718035-0-1 Publisher: STARR Software Inc. Pub. Date: 01 February, 2002 Format: Paperback List Price(USD): $60.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 3 (8 reviews)

Summary: In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king
Comment: This book has many, many deficiencies. In many ways, it is simply dreadful. Grammar is dubious, spelling errors abound, and the author's mastery of the subject matter is often rather questionable. Despite all of these shortcomings, though, it's still the only book available on the topic. As an independent contractor, I try to avoid costly vendor training classes whenever possible, opting instead for whatever third-party publications are available. This book makes for an inexpensive -- albeit deeply flawed -- alternative to spending a week in a Peoplesoft training class.

Summary: Good Basic Information / Bad Quality Binding
Comment: I am a mid-level PeopleSoft developer and found a lot of useful information in this book. If you are an expert this book is not for you. If you are new or your company won't spend money to train you then this book will be helpful. NOTE: the construction quality is severely lacking. It looks like it was printed from a Word Processing program and bound in someone's garage. My book fell apart after a couple of months. The other books from this author/publisher were all good quality, but this one looks like it was put together by someone in jr high.
Rating: 3
Summary: Full of information, but it needs a revision
Comment: The book has a decent amount of technical information although it lacks the organization found in other books of its kind.
Also, the screenshot quality is horrendous and it has many typos.
I also didn't like the fact that it didn't cover such an important tool as App. Engine. It's basically an App. Designer, PeopleCode book with a small, although useful SQR section.
But... you need to give credit to the author for putting the effort and delivering something for the PeopleSoft developer community. Other than this book there is virtually nothing else worth purchasing for version 8.x
The book price deserves a revision as well.
Consider the caveats before purchasing. You should buy this book only if you are new to PeopleCode and your company or yourself cannot afford a PeopleCode and/or SQR course.
I would wait for a new edition.
