3-Tier Server/Client at Work, Revised Edition

CDN$ 7.35

Only worth it for people comletely new to the field - Based on the other glowing reviews, I was eager to purchase the book. After it arrived and I actually read the material, it was a complete disapointmentMost of the book seems to be a plug for the author s company & software. The book provides an extremely narrow view of the client/server implementation alternatives. There is a relatively good section on TP monitor architecture, but it quickly moves on to how to do this with Tuxedo . I guess if you are using Tuxedo, this book might be pretty valuable. Advice in the book was very basic, ranging from Hire good people to make sure you have enough money for the project. Now, that advice didn t offer any value to me. You ll have to judge for yourself. Also, I expected the case studies to be presented with an analysis of the design, implementation and the issues present with different alternatives. My perception is that the case studies read like a chronology and offer very little value added insight into the why and what if or other alternatives might have been... .The exception is the case study created by an external company for the Wells Fargo implementation -- that was actually decent. I would not recommend this book to any of my friends or business associates.

Biased opinions - If you are looking for an independent view of client server computing, you won t get it from BEA employee Edwards, who uses this book to evangelize Tuxedo, that rusting old TP monitor that her company sells.
