this book is a kind of dictionary for a new beginner in telco sw dev. area .
it includes most recent references inside for h323,sip and APIs.

The book provided a good introduction to various APIs being defined and developed for network service applications. I'm giving it only 4 stars because I feel that half the book was spent on background information that anyone looking to research this topic would probably already know. I would have rather more detail been given in chapters 12, 13, and 14 (which is why I read the book) and less attention to chapters 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, which deal with generic java and web programming topics. However, given the little information available on the topic, the book is worth 4 stars just for providing the information it does.

Great reference for the beginnings of converged networks. With an updating (REST, RIA, Wireless Apps, SOA, IMS, etc..) this book could become the bible for converged services. How about it Stephen?

As a 12 year Telecom software development professional I can say that this is a great book for people wanting to take a step into the new world of Telecom/Datacom convergence.
