Summary: Best BizTalk Server 2002 book published to date
Comment: I have used 3 different BizTalk Server 2002 books (one of which covered 2000 mostly, but there are not major differences between the 2 versions). This book is by far the best, it was good for learning and also good for day-to-day reference.
The things I like the most about this book were:
* Good coverage of orchestration (XLANG Schedules) including advanced scenarios such as correlation between 2 or the same schedule.
* How to setup and configure BizTalk for better scalability and availability, i.e. using SQL Server clusters and BizTalk groups.
* How to access BizTalk API from .NET code, although not using the BizTalk toolkit for .NET (probably not available when published), it explains how to create your AIC component in C#, for instance.
* How to setup MOM to monitor BizTalk Server.
The topics I wished were better covered are:
* More advanced maps examples and better explanation of how the BizTalk mapper compiler works.
* More extensive coverage of the BizTalk API.

Summary: Better to read than to follow along
Comment: Xin's writing style is excellent - very easy to follow storyline for a terribly technical topic. However, I found it stressful to try to follow along and repeat the steps he was explaining in the book. For example, he goes through each step in great detail until chapter 5, then the details drop off completely and you just need to start figuring out what he's talking about. Also, in steps that he does take you through, a couple of the pages of the wizards on not in his explanations or the descriptions of the pages are different that what is displayed in the book. Nothing that would keep you from completing the examples, but it sure leaves you wondering about whether or not you're in the right place or skipping something important. Overall, the content is great and again, it's very easy to read. I'd still recommend it despite it's few minor flaws.
