3.0 out of 5 stars A good start but not deep enough, February 3, 2000

By 

Terence P Hutt - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mastering Windows Nt Workstation 4 (Paperback)

When I read a book with 'Mastering' in the title I expect something that gets down and dirty -- you know -- DEEP. This book doesn't do that.

Although it would be a great book if I were completely new to NT Workstation, I've been using it for several years and I had already picked up 90+% of the contents of this book through osmosis.

I felt the early chapters on the apps bundled with NT (such as wordpad and pbrush) were a total waste of time. The book is over 1000 pages long and I can write all the new/useful stuff I learned from it on one page.

This is not 'Mastering' so much as simply 'Basics'.

4.0 out of 5 stars An execllent all round introduction to NT4, November 19, 1998

This review is from: Mastering Windows Nt Workstation 4 (Paperback)

As an NT newby, this book taught me more about windows NT than I ever expected. I only wish I could have found a similar book for win95!

It was not only and education in NT, but a good introduction to networking. However, the content was not heavily biased towards networkers.

Overall, I found the book highly readable - once I started reading, I read it through to the end: all 1107 pages!
