From the Publisher
Here you will find a book totally dedicated to the newest of the tools offered by PeopleSoft. There is no other book on the market that covers this tool in full detail. The authors are also highly respected and have won many consulting awards in the years of consulting with PeopleSoft.

From the Author
This book was written to continue learning about the suite of PeopleSoft tools. Application Engine is a tool that was hard to use at the start but now with this latest release, Application Engine has become a very powerful and easy to use tool. There are some mindset changes needed and this book was written to help developers understand this mindset change so that this tool can be the powerful program it was designed to be. Many years of working with Application Engine went into this book and I hope that these years of knowledge pass onto you.

Customer Reviews

No Treasure Here, Stick with PeopleBooks
I was very disappointed with this book. It does not provide any information that PeopleBooks does not. The presentation was very poor, it was unclear, hard to read and contained no "gems" of information. Whether you are a novice or an expert, I would not recommend spending anything on this book.

Good summary
I think this book is great. It has a good overview of all the functionality, is easy to read and has some good examples. It's nothing earth shattering, but it's a solid reference.
