Mastering IBM WebSphere Portal- Expert Guidance to Build and Deploy Portal Applications Description:

Mastering IBM WebSphere Portal: Expert Guidance to Build and Deploy Portal Applications review:
5 stars (Best portal book) - Best book for learning WebSphere portal (and I have them all). The redbook is also useful but this book is the first one you should read.
5 stars (This is a must-have for WebSphere Portal teams) - This book is packed full of clear and concise definitions of how WebSphere Portal works, along with step-by-step tutorials that fianlly put everything in one place. If you need to install, configure, design, develop, debug, troubleshoot and rollout a Portal 5.0.2 environment, this is an essential tool.



My personal book is annotated, dog-eared and full of sticky notes, and has proven an invluable asset.
4 stars (Excellent resource for new and experienced portal teams) - Anyone who is involved with WebSphere Portal should have this book on their shelf. This book covers a broad spectrum of portal topics that make it valuable when researching a problem or designing a portal solution. If you are just starting out with portal you may want to skim one or two of the chapters (such as chapter 5) which is relevant in theory but may not be accurate for the latest released versions of the software. Many of the other chapters are right on, covering topics such as JSR 168 and WSRP which are continuing to grow both in capability and interest. Enjoy!
