5.0 out of 5 stars One of the more complete WAS administration books 6 Jan 2012
By Hiram Lester
Format:Paperback
I've been administering WebSphere Application Server for about 6 years beginning with WAS 6.0 and migrating through WAS 6.1 and WAS 7.0. I've not yet implemented WAS 8.0, so I was excited about reading this book to see what had changed.
Over the course of the time I've been doing administration, I've looked for a good book covering the current version of WAS. During the WAS 6.0/1 era, there were very few administration books out there that were current: they were mostly aimed at WAS 5.11 which was VERY different from WAS 6.0. During the WAS 7.0 timeframe, there were a number of administration guides out there from several publishers. While they were generally good, they usually seemed to lack something fairly major. Of course there's always the official manuals (something like 7 books and a couple of thousand pages) as well as the IBM RedBooks (free, but often very focused to allow a deep dive into a specific topic).
That being said, this book seems to do a very good job of covering the breadth of the product with one exception. As others have pointed out, it doesn't really cover the Network Deployment edition although it does touch on some of the features and some of the ways that it differs from the other products. This is not an oversight on the author's part as the following quote points out: "Scope is very important for the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment (WAS ND) product, which is not covered in this book."
I would highly recommend this book for someone who's either new to the product, or someone who wants to see what has changed since previous versions of the product. It is very well written and seems to be fairly complete from a feature standpoint other than the intentional ND omission.

3.0 out of 5 stars Beginner's book 2 Jan 2012
By Raghu Mysore
Format:Paperback
This is an interesting book for a beginner in WAS 8 administration. The book gives a broad view of WebSphere operations, along with several excerpts from IBM Redbooks and whitepapers. The book introduces a fresher to WebSphere administration tasks like installation, deployment, configuration, and maintenance. The readers familiar with author's WAS 7 book, will feel the need for more clear, crisp and complete details about WAS 8 features. The notable omissions are about CIM,job manager,AMT,default GC policies,global federated repository,memory footprint and managesdk commands. It would have helped,if the book contained illustrations for WAS 8 new features (like multiple security domains and HA support for WebSphere MQ managers). Many tables and figures are neither numbered nor titled. For starters, I recommend this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book for novice WAS users 22 Nov 2011
By Sebastian - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This is a very good book for WAS beginners. It is much smaller than the official WAS RedBook, but it will guide you through the most important administrative concepts of WAS8. Unfortunately it lacks the Network Deployment capabilities (like clustering, HA or CIM) and there are some weak points in the book (see below) but it has a lot of valuable hints and is very easy and fast to read.

The strong sides of the book

- Easy and fast to read
- Excellent for people new to WAS
- Great hints from a person who professionally works with WAS from many years
- Nice examples with sample code and scripts available to download

The book weaknesses

- Administration of only standalone WAS installations (Network Deployment is not covered)
- Unfortunately the part about applying fixpacks in chapter 11 is not valid for WAS version 8
- Part about HTTP server also could be updated to version 8 in chapter 9

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book 27 April 2013
By Kennedy Oyoo - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Steve Robinson has done an excellent work in writing this book. I found it very interesting to read as a system administrator whose application portfolio includes WebSphere application server. This book is full of practical examples and very well and clearly explained. I did also like the accuracy of the practical examples because the results were similarity what Steve indicated in the book. The only caveat I found was that some links didn't work especially the link for the repository to download the WebSphere application server. This is however expected as IBM links change all the time. I have recommended this book to a few other administrators, some who have bought it. I will continue recommending it as a must read for WebSphere administrators.
