Demystifying EDI (With CD-ROM)

Rating:
Summary: A total waste of time and money
Review: I have seen thinly veiled product hype books before but this one takes the cake. They spend more time on "Trading Partner Software" than on the actual EDI specs. Then the authors push off the actual EDI specs that the software DOES accomodate to an appendix that is less readable than the public specs. Unfortunately I paid for the book, but you can bet it is already in the box and being returned!

Summary: Not-a-Great Review
Review: The first 60 pages of this book are all that's really worthwhile. Although the author is given to some overly dramatic hyperbole and lists all the terrible things that will happen if you're not using EDI, the first 60 pages contain a few helpful hints.
The rest of the book is a[n]...advertisement for Trading Partner Desktop by Mercator Systems. If this is the software you're using, the book may be worth buying. Otherwise, find another book.

Summary: This book is not for programmer
Review: This book doesn't contain any information for the developer who has to get into the problem quickly. And there is no sign that deep exploration of it will give more useful information. This book is for a complete dummy but I can't see how reading it will help him.
