This review is from: Electronic Commerce Technology Trends : Challenges and Opportunities (Paperback)

I believe this book to be up to date in terms of its ideas, and to stretch the imagination in terms of certain concepts and their practical aplicability.

As the book is written by IBM personnel, most of the software is slanted toward IBM and thus I would consider a fair reflection of overall developments.

Very handy CD rom included in the back, although mostly test stuff.

Thoroughly enjoyed reading the book
