3.0 out of 5 stars Poorly Organized, Examples Don't Work, April 25, 2003

Doug Thomas (Norton, OH USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: IBM(R) Websphere(R) Application Server: The Complete Reference (Paperback)

I rarely criticize a text book, but for this one I must make an exception. My biggest complaint is that the examples are full of errors and the procedures are incomplete - leaving out critical steps to make the procedures work. For someone trying to learn Websphere from scratch, this poses an insurmountable obstacle to learning this topic. This indicates to me a rush job putting this book to press and failure to proofread the textbook and failure to test the examples.

I could go on, but the shortcomings already expressed are, in my opinion, justification for avoiding this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not enough detail, December 30, 2002

Richard Templin (Indianapolis, IN USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: IBM(R) Websphere(R) Application Server: The Complete Reference (Paperback)

This book is good at covering a wide range of details, but I wouldn't recommend it for an in-depth knowledge of Websphere, especially if you're a developer.

3.0 out of 5 stars Broad and Shallow, July 27, 2002

Bud Adams - See all my reviews

This review is from: IBM(R) Websphere(R) Application Server: The Complete Reference (Paperback)

The bulk of the book is dedicated to general J2EE topics. Relatively little information is provided in regards to WebSphere. If you are wanting to learn about J2EE/EJB and an intro to WebSphere, this might be a good book. If you have plenty of books on J2EE and looking for in-depth information on WebSphere, this is not the book.
