Customer Reviews & Comments
This book in only 350 pages or so, and in these relatively few pages covers almost nine different key software products from the IBM. I used this book to learn more about Web Services development with the IBM RAD and Integration Developer with the IBM Process Server. These are covered in chapters 3 and 5 of this book. In both chapters many of the key concepts and capabilities of these software offerings are covered. All descriptions are concise and accurate, tutorials are useful and practical, videos of the tutorials save time when you try them on your own. Probably many of the topics covered in this book are also available through IBM's RedBook series, but it would take a very long time with a lot of effort to find so much of useful and practical (real-well-working-examples) material about nine key software offerings form IBM. If you are working or starting to work with the IBM WebSphere related products then this book can save you a lot of time to get started.
