When Perfect Isn't Good Enough: Strategies for Coping with Perfectionism12 reviews
Martin M. Antony, Richard P. Swinson

New Harbinger Publications, 1998

What I would have written

+ For all perfectionists out there
+ There is help out there!

This book contains exactly what I was looking for the past 10 years. I've learned much about myself. I would probably not read the last section b/c it's just a repeat of what's in the book, but being a perfectionist, I had to. If you can stand it, only read what applies to you in the last ...

Marlin B Pohlman

iUniverse, Inc., 2007

Excellent Comment,....Buy the Third Edition

Thanks for your comment. Your points were exactly the rational for the Third Edition. The constraints imposed by the publisher along with the lack of proper formatting really discouraged my efforts and forced me to seek out another publisher.

SOA Security8 reviews
Ramarao Kanneganti, Prasad Chodavarapu

Manning Publications, 2008

good book

+ Good start before securing SOA

Security is indespensable for web services, but difficult to understand and use. There are too many standatds relevant to security, W3C standards and OASIS. I think to understand whole structure need much time. It seems architecture or principle is required to consistent understanding. This book is ...

Access Control Systems: Security, Identity Management and Trust Models2 reviews
Messaoud Benantar

Springer, 2005

More esoteric but less practical than needed

The author is gives us an academic tome rather than a practical text. A background in discrete math is needed for several chapters. The author is using a strange mix of historical references (HRU for example) and bleeding edge, yet to penetrate the market (XNS) technologies. This would be fine ...

An excellent starter book in LDAP

+ Excellent LDAP source
+ Enough To Get Started

Based on my recent personal experience: The book is worth every penny. It gets me going "from zero to sixty five in milliseconds" !

Really usefull!!

I've been thinking about deploying LDAP in the Solaris Environment and last year I bought a previous version of this book (ASIN: 0130306789 ), but it was really a disappointing experience. The book was telling mostly about what LDAP is, but not much about how to use it in Solaris. The new ...
  
  











  



  
Implementing LDAP21 reviews
Mark Wilcox

Peer Information, 1999

This book is a bit disorganised

There is little depth to this book and the reader needs to do a lot of sifting to extract valuable information. Even after doing that, the information obtained is still fuzzy. Beginners may get confused whilst non-beginners may find the book frustrating for lack of substance. I'd try a different ...
