5.0 out of 5 stars Clear and concise reference with easy-to-follow examples, March 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Internet Information Server 4 Administrator's Guide (Hardcover)

Excellent reference for those making the transition from web-developer to administrator. With limited server administration experience, I found the examples easy to understand and perform. The step-by-step instructions on topics such as scripting languages, server configuration, and site development were the best I've seen. A "must have" guide for the novice IIS 4.0 administrator.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great starting point for developing your own NT-based site, January 22, 2000

This review is from: Internet Information Server 4 Administrator's Guide (Hardcover)

Wyatt provides a reference that is across the board in terms of technical knowledge. Having been given the challenge of tying our in-house databases as an auxiliary website to our .com site, I found this book to hold most of the answers. He goes into step-by-step detail in many areas, but falls a little short of giving readers a broad view of applying the principles. A great reference that finds its way off the shelf and onto my desk a lot!

After reading this book, it is obvious to me the this author is highly competent technically, and also a very skillful writer.

If you ingnore the title, then I feel that this is a well written and informative book.

Unfortunately, I feel it had very little to do with IIS administration. The cover declares it to be a "COMPREHENSIVE REFERENCE", don't believe it.

This book is a very good introduction to web page design, with chapters on Frontpage 98 and Visual Interdev, while IIS installation is relegated to a mere appendix.

More than the first half of the book chapters are classed into categories such as "Developing Basic Web Site Content", etc. , and while it may be useful to many IIS admins who also happen to develop their site. It is not in my opinion, what IIS Admininstration is all about.
