1.0 out of 5 stars This book gives a 5000 mile high view!, November 4, 1999

By A Customer

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars If you read only one review - read this one., October 17, 2005

By	TJ - See all my reviews

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!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not Useful, April 25, 2001

By	Selladurai Sivaram (Fremont, CA United States) - See all my reviews

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.
