This book was pretty much a waste of money, especially if you have any ASP programming experience and take time to look at and learn from the included sample stores that come with MSCS. Worse yet is that the code in the book contains erros and there are no updates or other information on the publisher's web site to acknowledge it (or seemingly any interest of them to even reply to my reports). Microsoft's TechNet has helpful resources and is free online at their web site. Wrox also publishes a book called Site Server 3.0 Commerce Edition which isn't much better. It seems that most book publishers are taking the information presented in the Microsoft Official Curriculum Course (1231) and keep rehasing the same old stuff over and over and over... Anyone who thinks they can master Business to Consumber or Business to Business commerce by reading this book, Wrox's or taking Microsoft's own course will be in a for a disappointing surprise.

Doesn't get any depth and there are numerous other books out there that excel. Wrox has a few.
