4.0 out of 5 stars Thorough, well-written and easy to understand, July 7, 1998
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Official Microsoft NetMeeting 2.0 Book: The Comprehensive Guide to Internet Teleconferencing (Paperback)
I disagree with the prior reviewer's absolute pan of the book. While I agree that much of the material is obvious (NetMeeting is a very intuitive application), it presents all aspects of the product, in an understandable, readable and even witty way. This book is probably not for the hacker who can pick up an application like this and push it to the max in one hour. It could have gone into more technical depth in other areas. However, if you are tentative about using this product, this book can give you confidence in taking the plunge. It also has some good ideas on how to use NetMeeting. Maybe I am just one of those who "can't read", but I felt I benefitted from it a great deal.

1.0 out of 5 stars A weak book, June 27, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Official Microsoft NetMeeting 2.0 Book: The Comprehensive Guide to Internet Teleconferencing (Paperback)
The useful information in this book would fill 20 pages at the most. The chapter on firewall issues was not without a point, but 90% of the book is a tedious dissection of elements that are so intuitively obvious that the only people who could benefit enough from them to justify the cost of the book are people who can't read anyway. The author suggests several times (usually during the frustratingly brief technical sections) that the reader loan this book to their network administrator. Warning: if you give this book to your network administrator, be prepared for it to be returned at high velocity.
