I found only simple definitions for all the topics this book goes over. This book is a simple overview of PeopleSoft and products it offers. I found little if any useful information geared for developers. This is at best a manager's intro to PeopleSoft.

There are several reasons why this book cannot be recommended to anyone at any level who is interested in learning about PSFT Integration Tools.
1. The core content is positioned for a System Administrator to know how the system components all work together, from an enterprise perspective, not an integration perspective. The same can be learned from the PSFT manuals and whitepapers.
2. The concepts are both complex and simple - failing to completely satisfy any particular audience (IT Directors, product evaluators, technical resources).
3. There are no "technical" details, as you might expect from the title. No samples and the screenshots and diagrams are very weak. You can see other reviewers who have made this same complaint.
4. Writing style like a shotgun blast - numerous spelling and grammar errors, 2nd grade reading level sentences intermixed with collegiate level sentences. Throughout you will find redundancies, overlaps, concepts running on tangents that have no purpose or objective to the reader, etc.

Shame on those of you who found this book to be anything more than useless!

For Peoplesoft consultants this book is of no use.The back cover says detailed 'step by step guideline ' is of false information. Mostly who buy this book must be a peoplesoft consultants who are involved in the integration project who needs some real time examples of how to do the integration.However this book never talk about a single example.

I can write this book in 5 hours.

Guys don't get cheated .This is the worst book I came across by Mc Graw Hill.

If any body interested to buy this book please let me know.

I had to fill in the ratings as mandatory.Actual rating which I could gives is 0.

This is not a technical reference by any means. My biggest complaint is the organization of the material...it is a hodge-podge of information, most of which is geared to the non-technical manager who may be trying to justify a purchase of PeopleSoft for integration purposes. Some chapters get more technical but are confusing, lack examples and useful diagrams. The whole book feels 'rushed', and the format is far from elegant. There are several grammatical errors and typos too. For fifty bucks, I'd spend my money elsewhere.

I do a great deal of work with PeopleSoft systems and find their products to be excellent. I found this book to be very helpful to me in my integration tool practice.

There is a real wealth of detail in this book that has made it an invaluable resource for me at work. I am very pleased with the content and very highly recommend this book for anyone involved with PeopleSoft products as an integrator or as a business customer.

Very high marks for this book!

I tried to read this book twice.
I'm writing an interface to PeopleSoft system.
This book does not provide much useful info.
It is confusing too.
I much prefer PeopleSoft Administrator's Guide

My company is deciding between SAP and PeopleSoft and hired me to help them determine which is the best platform. I bought this and Miller's other SAP book. The two resources were extremely helpful to me!

This text is really right on target for anyone doing PeopleSoft integration. I am most pleased to have the chance to give this book the highest rating possible. It is really very well done and would be of great help to anyone involved in this subject.

Our company is heavily involved with PeopleSoft. This book really did a super job of answering all of our questions pertaining to our integration tools.

Overall, we found the attention to detail in this text to be exceptional. The author did a super job of making sure this book covered practically everything we needed to learn.

We are very pleased with this text and have provided a copy to every member of our IT department.

This book gave our company just what we needed, a clear view into the PeopleSoft Integration Tool environment.

It was extremely helpful to us in many ways. We are very pleased with this book as it offers us an excellent perspective into our business systems.

This book gives 5000 miles view all right, but the view allows me to see everything in the PeopleSoft environment very clearly.

This is a great text as I can view all of the underlying concepts prevalent within the PeopleSoft environment. I was able to understand how the Integration Tools works efficiently with my own business systems.

If you are looking for a good book, then you will like this one. I sure did.
