Highly relevant to the modern web developer - By: M. Biddulph, 03 Nov 2008 
As a web developer working outside "the enterprise" (CTO at Dopplr, the social network for smarter travel), I was initially put off from this book by its title. However, after it was recommended to me at a conference, I took a look & was very impressed.
Its approach to systems architecture - the decomposition of serverside applications into small pieces, loosely & asynchronously joined - is a great fit for modern Web 2.0 apps. I've incorporated many of its ideas into the architecture of Dopplr, & I have referenced it oftenin my conference presentations.
Great overview and reference - By: Mr. Rd O'donnell, 10 Feb 2008 This book is a great overview of what can be achieved with MOM. If you are new to integration/messaging, as I was, this book is an invaluable resource to get you up to speed on the major concepts & challenges faced by developers using this technology.
The book is vendor independent, although a lot of examples are shown for JMS or MQMQ, the concepts could easily be applied to other MOM technologies such as WebSphere MQ.
A Must Have Reference - By: A.S., 02 Feb 2008 This is one of those books that I have kept refering to through various stages of my career & I have always found it invaluable. This is the book that you pick up every now & then, read a couple of chapters depending on what you are working on & it never disappoints.
If something you do or see doesnt look or feel right, this is the book that will give you the reason why it isnt.
I thoroughly recommend this book for anyone who is a senior developer, software architect, solution architect or enterprise architect.
Essential Guide for Enterprise or Integration Architects - By: Chandan Chowdhury, 24 Jan 2008 This is an "essential" & useful guide for all systems architects working on integration projects of all sizes, irrespective of underlying implementation technologies. First few sections provide valuable insights into enterprise integration, which would help architects & technology managers at all levels. The following sections provde structured overview of the patterns with useful examples.
Formalise you're learning regarding Messaging - By: Mr. M. J. Small, 02 Apr 2006 I use Tibco RendezVous amongt a few other lesser known messaging products & enjoyed this book as it reinforced what I had already learned from experience & furthered this some more. None of the content is rocket science, but then that's what makes it easy to pickup & make sense of. I also liked the way the author made a solid effort to apply examples to multiple platforms/packages. It makes you realise how it's much more important to come up with the right design first at an enterprise level & you can then pick the appropriate product afterwards.
