While I am sure that the book is excellent, it is for C programmers only. The code examples seem to be comprehensive, however, I was expecting them to be in Visual Basic. No where in any of the book description did it mention that this book required a knowledge of C. While it may be a great book, it is not what I can use. Sorry.

First came a theoretical explanation then very detailed code. There are a lot of references to more detailed information on similar topics if the reader chooses to go off on a tangent on his own. This book has been a great springboard for me. The author does a great job of covering the art writing LDAP and ADSI clients separately and then bringing them together for a very nice compare and contrast.

This is a really good soup-to-nuts introduction to directory services under Microsoft. There is tons of sample code in this book, which I find very helpful. The language is C, with a MS flavor to it. There is an amazing amount of detail in this book, and the author takes great care to explain some difficult concepts. Definitely pick this one up if you are doing MS directory development.
