These principles differ from other devel opment environments, in particular, through their complexity and the close integration with the R/3 System. Because an installation for testing and training purposes on the PC at home is not an option, I considered a structured, understandable introduction to the material in the form of a If you initially read the book "offline" from an R/3 System, you will book to be more important.
