I'd like to thank the previous reviewer for the link information to the pdf file. It is rough and incomplete, but heck, it's free and will help me out a lot with a new 168-portlet project I have been assigned too. Thanks David.

The publisher, Manning, is certainly a good public citizen. They assembled an excellent team of subject matter experts to write a book on Portals and Portlet development. The team wrote the book, but Manning chose not to publish it. Consequently, it hasn't gone through the usual edit/review process, but it's still an excellent resource. Manning is offering the book, in PDF form, as a free download at manning.com/hepper The manuscript was made available on October 25, 2005.

I wonder why they chose not to publish it? Insufficient demand, probably. But as someone who would likely have bought the book, a free manuscript, authored by fellow technical experts, is an excellent deal. It's a little rough, but excellent value!

Enjoy!

I'm rather fond of the publisher, Manning. They assembled an excellent team of subject matter experts to write a book on Portals and Portlet development. The team wrote the book, but late in the process, Manning chose not to publish it. Consequently, it hasn't gone through the usual edit/review process, but it's still an excellent resource.
