Synopsis

What is WebSphere? is the reference you need to start understanding, managing, and capitalizing on an IBM based, WebSphere infrastructure.

As a developer, mentor and technical trainer, the author, Cameron McKenzie, has been preaching the virtues of WebSphere for years. However, in his sermons, the same questions keep coming up, over and over again.

What is WebSphere? tackles those questions in a funny, informative and easy to understand manner. This book is the best tool around for demystifying IBM's middle-tier technology.

What is WebSphere? tackles those 'need to know' questions to which both WebSphere soldiers and J2EE neophytes need to have the answers.

If you want to learn about WebSphere in a hurry, but you don't want to read a 700 page textbook that is littered with unreadable code, this is the book for you. In fact, the author promises right off the bat to demystify WebSphere without throwing all sorts of HTML and Java code in your face. Of course, the author breaks that promise on about half a dozen pages, but the sentiment remains.

Whether you're a DBA, a senior systems analyst, a project manager, or a Java developer, there is knowledge in this book that you absolutely need to have..... The sections on demystifying J2EE and the WebSphere runtime environment will empower project managers to make more effective management decisions.

The section on connection pooling and JDBC management will enlighten DBAs.

The advanced sections on WebSphere classloaders, Java Naming (JNDI) and session management will enable developers to better leverage the services afforded to them by the WebSphere Application Server.

And the sections on the WebSphere runtime will help J2EE architects make more enlightened infrastructure decisions.

It doesn't matter who you are - if you are using WebSphere, you need the knowledge contained in this book! Order your copy now!

Review

In an industry where books are typically dry and out of date, this book is entertaining and effective. This is a total, required read for anyone working with, or planning to work with WebSphere. --Michael Carerra

I spent over $3000 on a WebSphere class, and left totally confused. Discouraged, I was given a copy of this book, and everything came clear. I really wish I read this book instead of taking the class. It's amazing how clear and concise material, that is delivered in a manner that is entertaining and easy to read, can make what are otherwise complex topics, clear and simple. --Katie Heffernan

Far and away the best book written about Java, J2EE or WebSphere. A compact read, a fun read, and and easy read. The author has a great way using his way with words to enable to reader to easily conceptualize difficult subject. A great book! It makes WebSphere easy and clear. --Jim Chaung
