Amazon Review:
"Corporate Portals Empowered with XML and Web Services is a must-read for those planning or developing a corporate portal for their organization. The book provides both technical and business management insight into the issues both groups face. This is key to a truly integrated system. Guruge's use of real world examples makes this a lesson in practicality, not simply another book on theory."-David Johnson, Cisco Systems

"My recommendation for any business, regardless of what industry it is in, is to take a very serious look at portals and the business benefits offered. It is too risky to ignore this area of Web technology. This book provides the best starting point I can think of for getting an understanding of the many facets associated with portals and their relevance to modern businesses."-Stuart McIrvine, Program Director, Market Management, WebSphere Integration Middleware, IBM

User Review:
The book provides a decent amount of information and presents it in a non-technical manner.
Unfortunately there is just much too much useless chatter interspersed throughout the work and banalities abound everywhere, not to speak of significant irrelevancies. Its length could certainly have been rediuced by a third--to its benefit.
Finally, the editing is awful--there are very large numbers of typos adding no small annoyance and the quality of reproduction of some of the illustrations is such that they are close to illegible. Certainly not worth the price as it stands.
After the read I am more knowledgeable, no doubt. But I surely could have used my time becoming so more effectively.
