I got an old version copy of this book. I was wondering if they have published an updated copy yet. This is "the" book you need to know everything about internet server administration. I wish the publisher print the book in a new updated edition.

Almost two years ago I was lucky enough to find this wonderful reference book. At the time I was just getting stated as an Internet consultant and was in great need of some technical material. Little did I know that this book would play such a big part in my future. I'll admit that at first, some of the material was a bit over my head. However, as my work drew me deeper into the tech aspect of web servers, I always had the answers I needed close at hand. It's hard to believe that with all the advancements in technology, this book has not been outdated. In fact, until recently, I would reach for it on a frequent basis. I would still be reaching for it today, but unfortunately my copy was book-napped!

This book is two years old and is still the best one on the market.

It covers all the topics a webmaster needs to know: bandwidth calculation, httpd server setup, html, and cgi forms. The information is presented in a clear manner for the novice without talking down or being "cute". Read it cover to cover and it will take you to journeyman webmaster status.

I like this boo
