Customer Reviews & Comments
The first and foremost thing which causes frustration is that a book as big as 700 pages (BizTalk Unleashed) and covers a lot of topics is same as 200 page book (this) with even fewer details when we compare the price. If we were to assume that BizTalk Unleashed is worth (I know for sure this book is not worth what I paid) for what it is then this book is not even worth a couple of dollars. First let me start with the contents of the book. This book explains fundamental challenges of Health care industry. Nothing new in here. Anyone with common sense/knowledge can see the problems. Next it explains Biztalk 2004 in as few words as possible. Then comes HL7 followed by HIPAA. These two topics are the primary reason why I bought this book and this section is covered in no more than 70 pages with a huge font, few lines and a lot of pictures. IMHO just a few key strokes in Google can get you all the information present in this section (Contact me if you are unsuccessful, I can help you with it if you want to). Also, there are a couple of EDI examples on Scott's blog. I thought for a while and came to a conclusion that I (technical background) might not be the intended reader for this book. Then who could be it? Managers? How can they become managers if they don't have the slightest knowledge of HL7 and HIPAA. So, I don't have a clue as of now the intended readers for this book. May be this is intended as a marketing tool for Biztalk 2004 and accelerators (HL7 & HIPAA) Conclusion: Basics of BizTalk 2004, HL7 and HIPAA are covered. IMHO anyone without these basics should not work on integration project. I am completely disappointed with the content of this book. I don't recommend this book to anyone. Initially I thought of writing this review tomorrow. But, I woke up from my bed (11:45 PM) to write this review so that no one makes the same mistake as I did after seeing this review.
