Distributed Computing with IBM? Mqseries

I am a little manager. I micro-manage a technical group by reading books such as this one. It is great because I can now use all the buzz word I learned from this book to kiss up the upper management. Moreover, I can also intimidate people under me everyday with what I read from here! Yes, I do! If you want to be like me, buy this book!

The push into distributed computing is forcing IS professionals to look for solutions to the problems inherent to the new environment. Especially with many organisations acquiring third-party software packages, good ways of getting these packages to communicate are important. This book provide good case studies in how other organisations have forged these links using MQSeries from IBM. The case studies are "sanitised," but the reader can get a good feel for what the products can do. I would have wished that the sample programs on the CD-ROM ran on Windows rather than OS/2, but other information is invaluable. This is a must read for anyone getting started with messaging in general and MQSeries in specific.

The contents of the book covered the objectives set at the beginning of the book. The authors provided a clear but concise overview on MQSeries. The examples were very good and the information very easy to comprehend. Would recommend it to anyone wanting to get a good head start about the subject
