Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
IBM's WebSphere is a range of products. WebSphere V3.5 Handbook covers the WebSphere Application Server V3.5 Standard and Advanced editions. Under the hype, WebSphere Applications Server is the Apache Web server and J2EE with user-friendly interfaces.
WebSphere V3.5 Handbook covers WebSphere Application Server installation, architecture, interfaces, tasks, concepts and technologies. The coverage concentrates on designing and programming the business logic using server-side Java and can include anything from a high level discussion to a code snippet. There seems little logic in the arrangement of the coverage though; in real life you'll be writing servlets and Javabeans and will need a Java IDE. IBM provides WebSphere Studio as an easier alternative to VisualAge but it isn't covered in this book. The list of uncovered but relevant WebSphere areas is large and you're referred to other IBM Redbooks for details.
It could be something to do with having 15 authors but WebSphere V3.5 Handbook reads like the collection of notes programmers hand to a technical writer to turn into a book. It appears IBM dispensed with the technical writer and simply published the notes. The result is often confusing and details can be hard to track down.
IBM's WebSphere product line is impressive but complex. WebSphere V3.5 Handbook is an effective (if poorly indexed) technical reference to one part the subject but you'd do better starting with Enterprise Java Programming with IBM Websphere. Both books include a CD-ROM. --Steve Patient

For the reasons already mentioned in the subject, I find it hard to recommended this book, especially at the high price it sells for. Save yourself the money and download it for free from IBM's redbook site, then just print out the bits you need. Most of it you can just read in Acrobat, as it really is fairly high-level overview stuff.
If you are new to websphere, then maybe it might be worth the price. But then when you can get it for free, why bother. Try before you buy.

This books gives you a very nice overview of all the capabilities of the IBM Websphere application server. As a consultant I started working with WS 2.0 and moved on to WS 3.0, at that time there was nothing like that available, and now this handbook gives me a very nice overview of setting up a system build around WS 3.5. This was something that was missing on my shelf, or on my desk.
Really worth reading

Good Book
19 Jan 2002
Format:Paperback
Becoming a WebSphere Administrator is a daunting task. The product is complex and IBM documentation is often abstract, theoretical, and incomplete. I struggled for a couple of months until I got this book. I found this book to be full of accessible information related to WebSphere configuration and maintenance. This book was exactly what I needed to become effective as a WebSphere Admin.
Full of typos

I bought this hoping for an introduction to WAS. Instead, I found this full of typos and a badly made CD.
so-so reference book
2 Jan 2002
Format:Paperback
I found this book unwieldy in it's size (1154 pages including the index and appendices) and not very helpful for the beginning admin, which is all of us, including IBM!! There are hundreds, if not thousands, of screenshots, but very little in the way of explanation. I need a book that addesses the tasks I most need to do as a WebSphere Admin, with explanations as to why and how to do them. I have found that IBM's online Infocenter for WebSphere is the best resource for this. Bottom line: As a WAS admin you should have this book, but Infocenter may be more helpful.
