First and foremost this book is highly accessible, easy to read, and it's information is relevant, on-point and accurate for its time. Although written during a time where Web Server administration's pedagogy was in its infancy the book does an all around good job in instructing how HTTP works, the types of web servers and how to set up IIS, Apache and other various services such as DNS to get a webserver up and running on the internet along instructions and the science behind various extensions and modules, but lacks contents that digresses deeper into common tasks you may have to do as an administrator.

It's a good book for beginners but to someone who is more experienced with web server administration may look for a book that covers more administrative tasks that you may want to do.

Good for the beginner, but the more experienced administrators may look elsewhere.

This was a good book, 4 years ago... There are several good examples on how the Web Server Construct works and is a very good book for the beginner, however if you are an advanced user, try something else other than this book.

This book is way too old to be of much use, but it was a good buy since I needed it for class. It also covers Microsoft IIS, so if you're like most Web server admins and want to run GNU/Linux, half of the book will probably be a waste of your time. The other half will teach you some technologies that are several years old, but maybe we can use those as a basis for today's applications. It's also Red Hat specific which can differ from Debian in terms of where the config files are located, what they're called, and what the package manager's commands are.

This book came in excellent condition at a great price, and quick shipping which is good because Im in college and can hardly afford it anyway.. 5 stars

Hands down this is one of the best textbooks I've read in a while. Written by a DeVry University professor, Steve Silva, he cuts out the fluff and goes to straight to the meat and potatoes of the subject! If you want to master web server administration, this is book to read!

Book required for my son's college course were in excellent condition at 1/2 the cost and were delivered promptly

I was surprised by how fast the book arrived. It looks as to have been in brand new condition when shipped.

However, the US post office totally trashed the package. It looked like two pitbulls had a tug of war with the package, then followed by the postal workers drop kicking the package several times for football practice.

The seller shipped a perfectly good product, and provided very good service at a very good price. I will do more business with this seller.

Maybe it was just a fluke with the US postal service, maybe somebody got postal with my package.

The Book was in good condition. But it took to long for it to be shipped.

I recieved the book and it was in perfect condition. The delivery was earlier than I expected.
