Opinions on books is like what shell is the best... But, the major concensus is
that the Cockcroft book is the one to get. I ordered it and I must agree. It's
everything the 1st edition is, and much more.
What most people stated is that the F. Cervone book is a good basics w/
conceptual overtones, but the Cockcroft is more of a "Bible" of performance
tuning that digs much deeper and is used a reference.
Thanks to everyone that gave their opinion.
My original question:
I have Adrian Cockcroft's 1st edition book and I was about to order the 2nd
edition from Amazon and noticed a book from McGraw Hill called "Solaris
Performance Administration : Performance Measurement, Fine Tuning, and Capacity
Planning for Releases 2.5.1 and 2.6". It's writen by H. Frank Cervone and was
published April 1998.
Has anyone seen this book? Is it good? Should I get it, or just get Adrian's
2nd edition?
Please let me know if you have any thoughts on the subject.
