IBM WebSphere and Lotus

This book has definitely earned a place on my "arms reach" book shelf - in fact I am purchasing a copy to keep at home. A great read with easy to reference, up to date details.

This book starts with an introduction to Notes and WebSphere, goes through installation, and architecture, then walks you through several technical scenarios. These include using Notes services, WAS, LDAP, among others.

IBM plans to combine as much as possible the advantages of its Lotus and WebSphere products. Lotus offers a cooperative environment, while WebSphere is excellent for running J2EE applications that are scalable and use transactions.
