Summary: Want to know about DEN? Don't bother with this book!!
Review: I was very disappointed with this book. I try to reserve judgement on books until I've read at least 50 pages. However, when I reached page 50 and the author stated "Although I still am not sure how CIM (and DEN for that matter) will affect network and systems management ...", I gave up. If the author doesn't know how DEN will affect network and systems management, then why is he writing a book? This is the whole reason I bought the book. Oh well ... $$$ down the tubes.

Summary: Very enjoyable book
Review: I'm reading the book and enjoying it very much. The author also was very accessible for questions I had on the book, something not always found out there.

Summary: All essential information on DEN specifications
Review: This book provides essential information on DEN specifications. It provides up-to-date information on complex DEN issues. Rather than a descriptive work, the author does offer his own opinions and forecasting on the theme and industry that is yet to be seen. For the most part his predictions do make sense. Worth the money.

Summary: Very enjoyable book
Review: This is the first book I see on the subject. Although it provides a great overview of DEN and major players, the technology is still too new and very shake at the moment. Of course, I can't blame the author, which I'm sure, had to rely on RFCs and white papers. As long as readers have that perspective in mind, the book is worth reading.
