Siebel Guide Reading Help

I have been involved in development of Siebel Applications, lately i found out some downloadable copies to the guides of Siebel, I started reading from these guides and it helped me a lot and still at times when i think i need to get an idea of solution and its implimentation in Siebel, I refer to these guides, though the guides are preety different from the ones I was used to read (Microsoft MSDN and articles), it took me some time to get aquainted with the terminologies and the style of documentation...


Siebel Guide Readings
I observed reading once will not help... infact it never does in any case... the better approach, that I discovered is: read the whole thing once roughly; now coz it's so boring, you wont understand everything stated, moreover you may not want to read it again, so just try to build an index in your brain of what is where and where should you go in order to find a solution, while doing this try to understand what the author is saying in the guides not in that much detail but just a rough idea or clear idea depending on the level of detail the author has provided.


It will take a little while for you to get really familier with the jargon of the CRM world if you are new, but once you get to know this lingo, i am sure it won't be hard for you to look into any other CRM, like Microsoft Dynamics, MySAP etc.


This is the link to an index of all the guides for Siebel 7.8, but it's not likely that you read everything in it... to get a start below is the list of the guides that you may want to read in order ([1] means read first or level 1, [2] means read after reading 1, and so on)
