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 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

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.
 If you are a developer do not buy this book June 13, 2002

This book is for managers that want to have some understanding of MQSeries. It just covers some old use cases. I am a Java programmer and I was looking for some inside to MQSeries, patterns, etc. No in this book. I did not even finnished the first chapter. I browse to the book and I quickly realized that it was not for me. I made my manager happy by making a present. Now it is being display at his desk. I gave it 3 starts because it might have a used for some people and there is really not too many good books on the subject.
 A mainframe-centric, pro-IBM, glorified marketing handout April 25, 1999

I read this book carefully cover to cover and conclude it was written by IBM mainframers to sell MQSeries to middle and upper management executives whose corporations are predominantly "big blue" shops. There is no mention at all of Microsoft's MSMQ and almost no reference to the internet. The book uses OS/2 in almost all its charts when showing client-server configurations. It abounds with detailed references to IBM products such as CICS, IMS, DB2, MVS, etc. The case studies are watered down to the point of being almost useless. I guess this is a "must read" book for a serious professional who needs to learn about messaging, but it is a shallow book and extremely one-sided.
