3.0 out of 5 stars A book with many ups and downs, June 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Managing the Corporate Intranet (Paperback)

This book was born out of a great idea, but the very diverse background of the authors did not produce a well-balanced book, but a very irregular one with some great passages and some poor ones. Among the poor ones, it is the 8-page long, cryptic RPC code to show that it is better to let tools to generate some RPC code for programmers. The code is virtually the only one in the entire book and it is very long, not well explained and pointless. Many descriptions of key technologies are superficial and the book goes down to network details and up to management issues, somewhat lost in between. Some newer topics like Java Servlets and Application Servers are not mentioned, although short-lived LiveWire and current ASP are discussed. Yet there are some deep conceptual insights and a good choice of topics (especially in the technical area). I recommend this book, but you may want to skip a good portion of it.
