4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent summary of Microsoft's confusing Internet tool set,
By A Customer
This review is from: Active Platform: A Developer's Guide : Microsoft Solutions for Next Generation Web Sites (Paperback)
I have to confess I was completely confused by IIS, ISAPI, CGI, ASP, COM/DCOM, SQL and Backoffice until I read this book. The authors do a good job of painting a cohesive picture and at the same time show you where you can deviate from Microsoft tools and use stuff like perl, JavaScript and C/C++.This is more of a technology overview and not really a hard core how to. If you need the technical details, I'd recommend the MSDN documentation. But if you want to know what the heck it all means before you get buried in details, this is a good book to read.

Released prematurely, this book falls short.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Active Platform: A Developer's Guide : Microsoft Solutions for Next Generation Web Sites (Paperback)
As a CS college student, I was obligated to purchase this title for a class. I feel quite victimized by the publisher and author who rushed this book to market. It is filled with spelling errors, crude diagrams, and paragraphs of disjointed text. Perhaps the next edition will be carefully reviewed and edited before release. There remains a need for a quality book that covers as many topics as this one attepted.
