5.0 out of 5 stars The Basics and So Much More, January 28, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: IIS 5.0: A Beginner's Guide (Network Professional's Library) (Paperback)

I bought this book thinking it was a book for beginner's like myself. And, even though it does cover all of the stuff that I needed to learn, install, and administer IIS 5, it just has so much more. I see the reviews here and they all talk about something really neat about the book. And, I agree with all of them. But, something that really sticks with me after reading through this book is how also walks through HTML, DHTML, VBS, ASP, Java, and how to connect to databases. I'm really new to internet servers and languages, but this book was easy enough to read that I understand it completely. And, I know exactly how it all works with IIS because of all the script examples included in the pages. I didn't know how much IIS uses VB Script. I would recommend this book to anyone.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: IIS 5.0: A Beginner's Guide (Network Professional's Library) (Paperback)

I am horribly disappointed in this book. I bought it because of it's high score. It covers a multitude of topics at a very shallow level and most of the topics it covers I don't even think belong in a book on IIS. Some of it's information is plain wrong too, for example the coverage of authentication. It's coverage of important IIS issues like creating virtual directories for web sites is non-existent. It's where it should be strongest - configuring web sites and servers - that it is weakest. If I could give this 0 stars I would to hopefully prevent anyone else from making the mistake I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars IIS 5.0 - Full Metal Jacket, December 28, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: IIS 5.0: A Beginner's Guide (Network Professional's Library) (Paperback)

I have to admit, this book kept me reading long into the night. It is easy to read and easy to understand. After reading it I can honestly say there were tidbits of information in it that I literally could not find anywhere else. I've bought the other IIS books, so I have some good knowledge under my belt. But, this one seemed to have everything the other books had and so much more. Its funny...the other books I have are approximately 400 pages just like this one. But, what the other books cover in the full 400 pages, this one covers in the first 4 or 5 chapters, and then goes on to cover everything else under the sun for IIS 5.0.
