IBM Redbooks - a great cookbook for building Rational skills
IBM Redbooks are like cookbooks for IT professionals.  They offer a soup to nuts guide on selecting, installing and supporting specific IBM products.  Just like great recipes can result when master chefs collaborate and experiment, IBM Redbooks are a team effort.  IBM developers and select customers work together during an intensive multi-week Residency Program where they analyze the product, install it, duplicate typical implementation scenarios and document their experiences. The result of this demanding process is an IBM Redbook. The text includes product positioning, installation and implementation experiences, typical solution scenarios, step-by-step "how-to" guidelines and, frequently, sample code. The IBM International Technical Support Organization (ITSO) produces Redbooks on many software products including Rational, application development, Information Management, Lotus, Tivoli, WebSphere and many more.
