3.0 out of 5 stars
pretty wide, kind of deep, October 12, 2000
This review is from: Architecting Enterprise Solutions with UNIX Networking (Paperback)
Maybe I don't have the background to appreciate the subtlety of the author's arguments; but it seems to me there is a great deal of assertion and not enough explanation. The author generally does not introduce or explain terms, including obscure acronyms (fortunately there is a good glossary). Often, by the time I have looked up the terms and acronyms and put the author's statement together for myself there is nothing left to understand - in other words it appears the author would be adding little value for a reader that actually has the knowledge he assumes. The index is generally poor and the text obviously has not had the editorial support it deserves. The author does cover a lot of ground and touches on many topics, and the book consistently addresses a technical professional reader. This book could have value as a resource or reference, as one member of a library; by itself it occupies an unusual middle ground, neither introduction nor deep discussion.
