I have taken the iAS 10 Admin I course from Oracle, and wish that I read this book prior to the class. I found it very valuable especially if you are deploying iAS 10g (9.0.4) on Linux. I highly recommend the book to iAS administrators/DBA's.

As an administrator/implementor of these systems, there are many aspects to administering the 10gAS system. Although the authors do make reference the book intends to simplify the rather large amount of documentation, it falls short of a complete guide.

It is good starting point for a default implementation--detailed installation steps, with moderate emphasis on design (ex. touching on distributed administration and delegation). Thus provides adequate groundwork.

The forefront of administration of this product is design choices. For example, the Internet Directoy piece is major component to the architecture--its design greatly impacts administration of the entire system. Perhaps this book was not intended to be a design resource (since it is designated an "Administration Handbook"), but administration in the field of application servers is highly dependent upon design decisions.

The book would be a fair addition to a reference library, but not necessary if one is willing to sift through the vendor "White Paper" documentation--as large and convoluted as it may be.

This book covers how to configure, install and administrate Oracle Application Server 10g infrastructure on Windows Server 2003, Linux and UNIX. I felt that it was a good book and overall I have little ill to say about it. The examples are well written and do a good job of reinforcing what you read in the handbook. You read a little then do an example, then read some more, then add to the example and so on. You will need a solid understanding on Linux and UNIX to complete the exercises and material in this book. This book is definitely not for beginners.

As anyone who has ever tried to install Oracle products on Linux can tell you, the process is not as simple as clicking on a little install icon. There are security parameters to set, packages to verify, memory parameters to change, and users and groups to configure. The step-by-step instructions in this book do a great job of walking you through the process of installation and configuration.

This is a great book to use for beginners in the administration of OAS 10g. It covers the basics well and provides enough examples to allow the user to get a good grasp on how to install and implement the application.

thanks this is Good book, but because I need quick reference for me this book rather not detail or too fast on explanation.

I have enjoyed reading books by both of these authors. The technical layout of information allows the reader to focus in on what is being presented. The readability factor is important to me, and I appreciated being able to sit down and casually read rather than do a thorough study of what's in this book - without sacrificing technical depth. Highly recommend!

Mr Donald k. Buleson and John Garmany have more experiene in Oracle field and Complete knowledge of Oracle Their books have many useful information and are well-written.
