Description:This book is one of my most-used referenced books. I've done a LOT of work using the BO XI SDK to build utility programs to help administer our system and I regularly use it to look up details.
Carl's explanations of the many of the intricacies of using the SDK and the query language are straight-forward and easy to understand. He includes many tips about undocumented and little-known features along with information about things to watch out for where the software may not behave like you would expect it to.
In addition to the SDK, there is a good overview of the admin tools that are supplied with the BusinessObjects Enterprise software and there is a full chapter on the security model.
I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to enhance the capabilities of their BusinessObjects system.
