Rating:  Summary: A good start but...... Review: A good book to have in your PeopleSoft library. It does give someone with a (very)good understanding of Database Administration a heads up about "PeopleSoft" and how to implement and plan integration with (different) Hardware Platforms. As a seasoned DBA, I found the book lacking in depth and concentration on configuration and performance issues. A good start but more is needed.
Rating:  Summary: Good General Knowledge. Not much detail Review: Gave a good overall view of PeopleSoft. Not enough detail to be really useful.
Rating:  Summary: Not really an administrator's guide Review: Having been to the training sessions for Peoplesoft technical training, this book is a good summary for those who have already been through the training. However if you want to pick up this book and expect to become an Administrator you will be disappointed. Overall a pretty good guide.

Rating:  Summary: No depth Review: I bought this book, opened it once, and put it back on the shelf. It provides so little depth and detail that it is almost useless. For a brand new technical person I'm not sure this book would be valuable, but it does provide a high level oversight of the workings of the system and would be useful for a Project Manager new to the PeopleSoft area.

Rating:  Summary: Informative and helpful Review: I'm new to PeopleSoft I'm writing an interface to the PeopleSoft to interface with our system. This book is the best I have found so far.
Rating:  Summary: Good try Review: Numerous topics were covered, however; some sections were hard to follow and were only specific to author's systems. Not geared for someone justing getting into Peoplesoft
Rating:  Summary: Touches a lot of topics but in depth on none Review: The book made mention of a great deal of PS topics but went into very little detail on any. Documentation standards would definitely have been helpful. More geared toward a first time implementation than day to day type administration of the software. Layout of the books was good. Coding examples fair. I would like to have seen a lot more on the technical aspects. It really didn't do Application Engine, Mass Change or release upgrades justice. Definitely better than any other book that has come out, though. It also puts a lot of topics together in one reference.
Rating:  Summary: PeopleSoft Consultant for 2 years Review: This book covers numerous topics, but did not go into depth on each. It definitely serves well as a check list of deliverables and guidelines for a successful implementation.
