Excellent hands on walk through of the new generation of XenApp, 64 bit and all the benefits of current Microsoft technology. The scenario based approach is one that you can adapt to your own environment or use as template for a POC to test out the new feature set. Given all the new features in both Citrix and Microsoft this is a must have guide for any Citrix admin.It is hard to find good Citrix documentation even on the Citrix site lots of searching on the Internet especially for detailed step by step guides. In this book you find it so save yourself some time and pick up a copy and start working.

good book to read if you want to get certified

Mr. P. Waller Sep 13, 2012

This review has also been added to the .co.uk siteAfter reading this i couldn't help thinking that this was a rehash of the XenApp6 title, also by the same author.I would like to add that i have read and reviewed the XenApp 6 book and you will see from that particular review 5 stars were awarded as i felt that this book gave the reader an insight not only into XenApp 6, but also how you could apply the technology in the real world.Getting started with XenApp 6.5 as mentioned earlier seems to go over the same ground, but with slight emphasis on 6.5 (obviously!). Now i am not knocking the author in anyway shape or form as his Citrix knowledge far out guns mine & that 6.5 is really in theory an update to 6. its just that there were particular bits missing which apply only to 6.5, i.e. Session linger and pre-launch which although were mentioned in the text, were never really applied within the context of the book. So all in all a good book, but could have been better - maybe i am splitting hairs

You would think that with such little choice in XenApp/XenDesktop books available that the few published would read like a Dr. Seuss short story. This exceeded my expectations, however it does contain quite a few grammatical errors making the read pretty difficult. It does not read front to back, rather it covers a large deal of information repeated and built upon chapter after chapter. Would recommend this over other choices only if you plan on taking a fast track course on the subject, would not suggest this as a hand-helper guide to newbies or experienced professionals in the field alike.
