2.0 out of 5 stars Very little value, March 22, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Fix Guide: Implementing the FIX Protocol (Paperback)
Very high level 'executive' overview of brokerage systems that use FIX. This book is of no value to anyone who needs to actually deal with any issues related to implementation of FIX. You could get much better information from (the very badly organized) Fix website: www.fixprotocol.org

Why is it that when you put a lot of presumed smart diligent people in an industry group it inevitably degenerates into an internal terminology obfuscation contest producing un-user friendly documentation and lousy websites?

If anyone knows of a good book on programming a FIX engine please let me know.

1.0 out of 5 stars If you know even a little bit about FIX don't buy this book, June 26, 2009
This review is from: The Fix Guide: Implementing the FIX Protocol (Paperback)
When this book first came out I thought it would provide a good introduction to FIX and how to implement it; so I bought a copy. I was thoroughly disappointed. While waiting for the book to arrive I had spent a few days browsing through the FIXprotocol.org website and I had already learned more about FIX than what this book had to offer.

As other reviewers have said, if you are a high level manager who doesn't know FIX and wants to know what the fuss is all about, you might be able to gain something from this book. However if you are a developer/implementor or a FIX certification specialist, this book will provide very little value to you.
