Summary: Excellent Work
Review: Great introduction to Tuxedo. What I like the most is the completeness of the book. In other words, they define all their terms and assume no prior knowledge. I got up to speed very quickly on Tuxedo thanks to this book.

Summary: An illution of simplicity
Review: I find this book rather poorly structured. The authors have not decided if this is a book for developers or for administrators, and they try to make it a book for both. I think they have ended ut writing a book for nobody.All code fragments need another look. I know that they are not intended for a compiler, but I think they should at least look that way. As in most TUXEDO documentation the authors have a hard time getting to the point. Technical computer litterature can be a lot more pedagogic and easy to read than this!

Summary: Covers all basics of Tuxedo
Review: Lacks information about XA, integration with Rm's
Rating:
Summary: Excellent Primer for the Application Developer
Review: Much better written than "Building Client/Server Applications with Tuxedo" Is comprehensive and provides useful pointers - very much a textbook approach. Could do with a new edition covering examples in Visual Basic and a chapter on Jolt.

Summary: Covers a lot with tons of Acronyms - Confusing
Review: There is a lot of information. Unfortunately there are hundreds of acronyms, most of them specific to Tuxedo programming. It becomes tedious boring reading as more later terms are described in older terms/acronyms. There are some diagrams but I did not find them particularly useful. Mostly architectural descriptions. Not a lot of working examples. Again, the reading is dry, but I'm not sure there is a better alternative out there on this topic.

Summary: A Model For Computer Books
Review: This book is written the way books in this field should be written! Take note computer community, the authors of this book have not simply compiled an encyclopedia, but have carefully crafted a book. Early chapters provide theory and and lay the foundation for the detailed chapters that follow, covering everything from transactions to MIBS. Useful examples are povided, and it is impossible to finish this book without a conversational understanding of Tuxedo. If you need to know the difference between an RPC, FML buffer, and an RM, get the book!
