Not Much Meat
20 Dec 2004
Format:Paperback
Depending on what you are looking for, this book could be highly useful or not at all. For giving an overview of all of the various things that exist in the integration world, it would probably be quite good. But in terms of actually teaching one how to accomplish any real-world tasks, it is lacking a lot of basic information.
As an example, it might present all of the various hardware (hubs, switches, routers, etc.) that one might encounter and some of the cables you can plug into them--but never mentions in what order they go in or what they really accomplish. But now you at least now the names of everything and can go out and get further reference on those topics.
I would also note that this was written in mid-2000 so I suspect that much of the data is out of date. Though since there is very little hard data, this really is not a large issue.
