 Absolute waste of time and money
This is, perhaps, the most useless computer-related book that I have read. There is no target audience. The book is useless for sysadmins and programmers, because it does not give any technical details and has no novelties. It is useless for managers, because it is very dry and, basically, provides an overwhelming list of all variations of the technologies known to the authors, including definitions of web-services, public and private key authentication, etc. I failed to understand the purpose of this book except for making easy money.
br /On top of that, the book has horrendous illustrations. They are low resolution, sometimes blurry, screen dumps of some diagrams. Furthermore, because the original images were in color, the authors did not have to think about contrast and object separation. The book is printed in bw, so all colors are reduced to shades of grey. And because no one had thought about the contrast, objects are indistinguishable, and black print on dark grey background is illegible.
br /My advice: stay away from this book, save yourself time, money and good mood.
 A good textbook in Grid Technology
I like it because rather than a composition of articles, the book provides a systematic insight into grid technologies.
