Shouldn't have been printed,
By A Customer
This review is from: Secrets of Windows Telephony (Paperback)
This is the worst book I have ever bought. The author tries to cover many topics, but he does so so pitfully that the reader is really left clueless. The organization of the book is very loose, and he scratches every topic only on the surface. Don't be fooled by the microsoft windows logo on the cover, save the thirty bucks and buy yourself some game CDs.

Huh?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Secrets of Windows Telephony (Paperback)
The previous reviewer is absolutely correct. I should have made my purchase @ Amazon so that I could have been warned. "must read", maybe for employees of the publishing company.I can't even say that its too technical. What I can say is that it lacks structure.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Out of Print - Good History Lesson - Big Bonus Glossary,
By Martin Gabelli (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Secrets of Windows Telephony (Paperback)
This book is good for program managers, product managers and team leaders interested in the Windows Telephony API (TAPI). It's really outdated now and out of print, but I keep lending my copy to friends. There are many examples of approaches to TAPI applications and even some stuff Microsoft never published early on. The glossary alone is massive and I refer to it often even though the content of the book is now dated. If you can get it used, it's a good history lesson of "early adopters" and how TAPI got started in the mid-to-late nineties. So much has changed, it's not for programmers at this point, but OK for newcomers to the telecom industry who want to learn some background.
