Beginning Oracle PL/SQL, 2nd Edition Posted: 19 May 2016 01:24 PM PDT Beginning Oracle PL/SQL, 2nd Edition. Beginning Oracle PL/SQL gets you started in using the built-in language that every Oracle developer and database administrator must know. Oracle Database is chock-full of built-in application features that are free for the using, and PL/SQL is your ticket to learning about and using those features from your own code. With it, you can centralize business logic in the database, you can offload application logic, and you can automate database- and application-administration tasks. Author Don Bales provides in Beginning Oracle PL/SQL a fast-paced and example-filled tutorial. Learn from Don's extensive experience to discover the most commonly used aspects of PL/SQL, without wasting time on obscure and obsolete features. The author takes his 20+ years of experience and a wealth of statistics he’s gathered on PL/SQL usage over those years and applies the 80/20 rule: cover what’s most needed and used by PL/SQL professionals and avoid what’s not necessary! The result is a book that covers all the key features of PL/SQL without wasting your time discussing esoteric and obsolete parts of the language. Learn what really matters, so that you can get to work feeling confident with what you know about PL/SQL. Covers the key topics that matter, including variables and datatypes, executing statements, working with cursors, bulk operations, real-world objects, debugging, testing, and more. Teaches you to write production-level, object-oriented PL/SQL. You’ll explore relational PL/SQL, but unlike most other books on the subject, this one emphasizes the use of PL/SQLs object-oriented features as well. Guides you in working through real examples of using of PL/SQL. You’ll learn PL/SQL by applying it to real-world business problems, not by heavy theory. What you'll learn Write PL/SQL in both relational and object-relational settings Create maintainable, modular, and reusable programming units Build debugging and testing capabilities directly into your code Centralize business logic inside the database engine Speed performance through bulk operations and data movements Profile your code to isolate slow-running segments for improvement Who this book is for Beginning Oracle PL/SQL is for SQL programmers and database administrators wanting to write code that runs inside Oracle's database engine. Whether it's centralizing critical business logic that is your goal, or you just want to automate your administration work, or maybe just it's just to enhance your applications by taking advantage of all the pre-built functionality Oracle Database has on offer, Beginning Oracle PL/SQL is the book to get you started on the road to PL/SQL mastery.

SAP ERP Financial Accounting and Controlling Posted: 19 May 2016 01:22 PM PDT SAP ERP Financial Accounting and Controlling: Configuration and Use Management. SAP ERP modules are notoriously hard to configure and use effectively without a lot of practice and experience. But as SAP ERP Financial Accounting and Controlling: Configuration and Use Management shows, it doesn’t have to be so difficult. The book takes a systematic approach that leads SAP Financial Accounting and Controlling (FICO) users step by step through configuring and using all the program's facets. This approach makes configuration complexities manageable. The book's author—SAP expert, trainer, and accountant Andrew Okungbowa—ensures that both you and your end users are up and running quickly and confidently with FICO. He also provides sound and tested procedures that ensure your implementation works without error. SAP ERP Financial Accounting and Controlling: Configuration and Use Management is in fact the most comprehensive and easy-to-follow SAP FICO configuration book in the market. It incorporates a hands-on approach, with hundreds of screen shots and practical examples, that allows a person without prior configuration training to make SAP FICO ready for use in the enterprise. You'll find that you don't need to be a rocket scientist to grasp the concepts explained and apply them to your work—even when the finances are complicated, such as with the ins and outs of taxes, currency conversions, or special general ledger entries such as down payments or bills of exchange. Providing an in-depth coverage of both configuration and end user procedures, the book covers most aspects of the SAP FICO certification syllabus—SAP's view of the module's key tasks and procedures—including: Configuring and using the general ledger and accounts payable and receivable screens Configuring and completing closing procedures, asset accounting, and financial reporting Configuring global settings and enterprise variables Accounting for both profit and cost centers Creating a house bank Integrating FICO with other SAP modules Taking a jargon-free tone and providing an abundance of examples, Andrew Okungbowa provides a clear understanding of configuration techniques and the breadth of functionalities encompassed by SAP FICO. And as an accountant, Okungbowa understands the needs of end users as well as of those answering to the CIO. What you'll learn How to configure SAP FICO like a pro How to master core aspects of SAP Financial Accounting and Controlling How to integrate SAP FICO with other SAP Modules A thorough hands-on overview of IMG (Implementation Guide) and Easy Access (user point of entry into SAP) Knowledge gained from real-world practical examples and case studies How to explain the functionalities of SAP FICO to others Who this book is for FICO consultants, enterprise IT implementers and support personnel, accountants, trainers, and developers. While not aimed at beginners per se, beginners can use the book to do a complete configuration of SAP FICO. The post SAP ERP Financial Accounting and Controlling appeared first on 1Bookcase.
