Unlike previous electronic commerce books which stress theory, the Administrator's Guide to e-Commerce is a hands-on guide to creating and managing websites using the Microsoft BackOffice product suite. This book will explore the role of networking technologies to industry growth, issues of privacy and security, and most importantly, guidance in taking an existing Web server and creating an electronic storefront.

3.0 out of 5 stars Administrator's Guide to E - Commerce, February 29, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Administrator's Guide to e-Commerce (Paperback)
Although I found this book to be fairly informative in general, it does, at times, read like a microsoft ad!. Also I found that the author occasionally forgets to tell you what some of the abriviations stand for.

I did find it usefull as a first time reader of this topic dispite the above.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ties together a vision of the Internet, March 23, 2000
By 
Brian Houghton (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Administrator's Guide to e-Commerce (Paperback)
Great book at tying together concepts of e-commerce. The book is written in a conversational tone and is easy to understand, and includes some interesting examples of projects. I found the idea of having a central point of reference for projects critical as is the information on how companies have struggled with the look and feel of their sites due to the need for strong leadership. Overall a good read and useful for defining how Site Server works as a website development environment.

5.0 out of 5 stars My own store? Selling software and music?, March 11, 2000

This review is from: Administrator's Guide to e-Commerce (Paperback)
What I found the best about this book is that the topic of electronic software distribution, and the hands-on tools and relationships you need are defined. Also the chapter on how all the parts of e-commerce fit together was pretty good. I think the author probably lives in this world and tends to use too many acronyms. I think having the book more focused on the hands-on aspects of managing a site would make this perfect for the beginner. Overall the book is written more like you were talking to the author - it does not preach and it tries to be helpful. I have also e-mailed the author and he's been quick to respond with answers.
