Excelent book

It is showing very good ABAP programming technique. It it mostly covering BDC programming and drill-down reporting (which I think is very cool).

Short and Sweet

This is one of the best books on ABAP. Although it does not cover all the topics, it really helps you with BDC, Dataset and it shows you some good programming practices. This should not be your first book, cause it is not for beginners. Really worth it. I wish it covered more topics.

Well written and very to-the-point

If you are writting ABAP code, you need this book. The author provides stright forward examples and insights. This one never gets too far from the keyboard.

This is an excellent book, especially for BDC

This is the only book on the market that gives an indepth description and an excellent overview and procedural details of BDC programming. However, as the author has claimed this is not for beginners. If you want to learn BDC this is the book. Go for it.

Excellent beginning ABAP programming textbook

"Writing SAP ABAP/4 Programs" is a well written textbook. I disagree with another reader's comment that it is just a "Hello World" book. Hoffman provides excellent program examples and explanations.
