Title: Complicating the simple and confusing the clear
Review: This book has been a huge disappointment. Wrox books had thehabit of being no BS, clear, hands-on, detailed techical tutorials.. and this is why they had their original success. But now, perhaps in conjunction with being bought by Wiley, Wrox is definitely going down. The authors of this book souns like IBM managers, not certainly programmers. The first chapters do not contain ANY techical info but just advertising for IBM products (I am not making this up..!)The rest of the presentation is a confused, disorderly, bloated,verbose, unnecessarily complicated sequence of "click here and then click there" instructions. If you have some brains this book will be unbearable, if you have none, well you're probably one of the authors.What is most irritating and annoying about this book is the pompous, monotonous, slow tone aimed at passing straightforwardtechnical notions for rocket science, which unfortunately seems to be a general trend at IBM.
