Understanding Computer Telephony; How To Voice Enable Databases From PCs to Lans to Mainframes

Summary: One word...disappointed
Review: I have to say that I found this book to be a grave disappointment. It reads more like sales glossy for the author's telephony product then a book on computer telephony. While it does contains a small amount of technical information on computer telephony, you must wade through a great deal of useless and outdated examples on a software product that no one has ever heard of. If you are looking for technical information on computer telephony, I'd look elsewhere. Mr. Carden, I'd stick with sales and marketing and leave the technical details to the engineers.

Summary: Lame
Review: I was looking for a "how-to" book on computer telephony. I'm regretting buying this one. If you're writing a "white paper" or some such non-productized work this book would be a great help. However, if like me, you're trying to do some real work, this book is useless. I wonder if the author's software is still available and if the company is still in business.

Summary: Where's the technical content?
Review: Remember where's the beef, well it's not in this book. Their was at best a couple of good technical examples and explanations, the rest sad to say was none existent. If your looking for a book to learn industry "buzz" words and not the technical content behind them, then this is the book for you. The author did do one good job of promoting what looked like to be a Windows 3.1 application made back in the stone ages of early windows development. However don't waste your money just yet, better off to save it for a rainy day. Good luck in your Computer Telephony search!
