Don't let the size fool you, Rob Mattison's "Web Warehousing and Knowledge Management" is easy to read and educational. Rob Mattison understands the industry's need and where it needs to go, it's a must read for the IT professionals and for the new millennium.

I am responsible for helping my organization figure out how to make the Web actually useful, and before I found Web Warehousing, I thought that I would never be able to put all of the pieces together. This book is easy to read and provides many insights. The back section in particular is the best discription and explanation I have seen on Web technology.

I recommend this book highly to anyone trying to get a handle on all of this confusing new technology material.

I was looking for a book that would cut through the techno-speak and insider jargon and give me a digestible and useful understanding of the Web and knowledge management by business today. Mr. Mattison's text did just that, plus gave me additional context that made the subject more understandable in its driving dynamics. This is a great book that you can sit down with and read for a half hour and feel that you have actually gained a lot for that investment of valuable time, instead of feeling more overwhelmed and confused than when you sat down. I recommend this text to others. It's good to find a guy who talks to you in the pages like a friend and not a pedantic university professor. There's much to intimidate the beginner or even the journeyman about the Internet, telecomm and the knowledge revolution - having some cookie-cutter patterns (paradigms) to make sense of this and see where it came from and where it's going is essential.

This book is an excellent guide about Web Warehousing and Knowledge Management because it presents the correct balance between theoretical aspects, practical applications and technology know-how, necessaries to understand these new paradigms.

I didn't understood why a book like this, that was published by McGraw Hill don't have a bibliography. I considered this a big fail in this book 'cause we can't know if what the author wrote was only his experience or if he had based his book on other books and articles.
