So what can you expect from this title?<\/p>\n

SAP BusinessObjects\u00a0Design Studio<\/strong> is one of the youngest and most promising new toolsets in the\u00a0SAP BusinessObjects product portfolio. It is being positioned by SAP as the primary tool for creating interactive\u00a0analytical applications for the web and mobile devices. This book will help you to learn not only the technical ins and outs of this new tool, but also provide you with the required contextual knowledge to position Design Studio in your existing\u00a0SAP BI landscape. By the way, don’t worry about the technical stuff. No pre-existing knowledge is required as we will walk you through every aspect of\u00a0Design Studio in a step-by-step way, using a lot of screenshots.<\/p>\n

The book starts\u00a0with a broad overview of\u00a0Design Studio. In the first chapters we introduce you to the product, compare it with other SAP (BI) products and discuss several use case scenarios.<\/p>\n

Next we\u00a0follow this by going through every detail of the application. First we\u00a0walk you step-by-step through the installation procedure. Then we\u00a0describe the application environment and the general process of building an application. Next we describe every available component and its properties in detail.<\/p>\n

Once you have mastered the basics, we go into more depth about how\u00a0you can enhance an application. We describe how you add interactivity\u00a0and give you a set of guidelines for creating applications. We then walk\u00a0you through the creation of two complex applications. The source files and code for these applications are available as a download.<\/p>\n

I put the table of contents in the Read More section below this post so you can check the contents and structure in more detail. So have fun reading our book and let us\u00a0know what you think. Also don’t forget to use the coupon code\u00a0QR7N5G <\/strong><\/span>when ordering<\/a>!<\/p>\n
