5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for IIS 7, March 2, 2008

By	A. Gaige (United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've had IIS 7 Administrator's Pocket Consultant for several months now. I've read it cover to cover and refer to it all the time. I'm always amazed at how much information William can pack into his pocket consultants and especially with this one.

William starts out by telling you IIS 7 is completely different from its predecessors and then showing what you need to know right away to be successful. Then chapter by chapter he teaches you everything you need to know to be successful with IIS deployment, configuration and management. The book also includes excellent details on monitoring, backup, recovery and troubleshooting.

What I like best about Williams' books is the friendly easy to understand language. He's always very organized and clear. He doesn't stray off topic into tangents and has a solid sense of what's important and what's not. I like to think of his approach as being like the cool History teacher who teaches everything you need to know, while you're having too much fun to realize how much you're learning.

There's a wealth of real world examples and reference materials throughout. This makes the book perfect for administrators and for developers who build and manage IIS installs. Highly, highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best I've Found for IIS 7, April 12, 2008

By	S. James Phillips - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I picked this up as we were moving our front-end web servers to IIS 7 and as Stanek's other books have been extremely helpful. Having read it cover to cover and compared it to other IIS books available, I found it to be the best by far. This book focuses on exactly what I needed to know to get up to speed and to get the job done every day. As a reference manual it can't be beat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for IIS, June 19, 2008

By	Oliver Marmorstein - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was suprised to find how different IIS 7 is from IIS 6, so different it might as well have a totally different name, but I wasn't worried as with his other books Stanek does an excellent job of guiding the reader through the ins and outs of IIS 7. Using this book, I confidently helped plan our site wide upgrade and then deployed IIS 7 throughout our server farms with complete success. Excellent resource!
