Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
McGraw-Hill is attempting to define exactly what the roles and responsibilities of that most nebulous new profession, the webmaster. In this case, the perspective is very technical: Internet infrastructure, network and TCP/IP fundamentals, security, electronic commerce, interconnectivity, name service, ftp, and so forth. This book may certify the webmaster as engineer but not as artist. While McGraw-Hill has just created this webmaster certification on its own, having this certification will come to mean something about the person who obtains it. This certification will be highly marketable for the general public and to libraries as a way of ascertaining the skills of incoming webmasters. As such, the book belongs in most collections.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Nice History Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Webmaster Administrator Certification Exam Guide (Certification Series) (Hardcover)
Prior to reviewing this book, I would like to qualify myself. I work as a webmaster and I am responsible for a variety of sites located on Windows NT web servers. I have been on the Internet since 1989 (the old shell days) and develop a lot of UNIX based sites.*** In contrast to the previous glowing recommendation for this book, I cannot, in good faith, give my stamp of approval. In fact, if this is all you are expected to learn to become one of Net Guru's Certified Internet Webmaster Administrators, then the certificate is hardly worth the paper it is printed on. Back to the book. This volume is rife with errors. Not surprisingly, it is also full of typos, including some instances where multiple sentences have been run together in a confusing mess. The book has a lot of thump factor (960 pages), but much of the content is a group of examples of how to set up a particular flavor of server. The book is filled with page after page of files on UNIX based web servers. While this might seem like a nice addition, the fledgling webmaster would most likely find it maddening that he has to wade through page after page of printed files without a guide map. The files that are printed out help add to the thump factor. In all fairness, there are some parts of this tome that spell out the exact UNIX commands necessary to set up a server, but be prepared to spend a lot of time in a UNIX book to supplement this `quick setup' with real knowledge. The biggest problem with this book, however, is the age of the material. Considering the number of typos, this was a rush job. Apparently there was not enough time to include newer information. Most of the HTTP content is based on version 1.0 and the Windows NT material is completely out of date. If you are looking for a book to pass a test and get a certificate, this might suffice. If you are looking for useful information on how to become a knowledgeable webmaster, I would turn the other way. There are a few nice tools on the CD-ROM (SATAN, COPS, etc.), but you can find these tools free on the Internet.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent coverage of many areas of networking.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Webmaster Administrator Certification Exam Guide (Certification Series) (Hardcover)
This book is written for the purpose of preparing for obtaining a Webmaster Certification (in administration). However, this book covers (very clearly) MANY general technical areas (and some detailed - e.g. Security) of networking. Overall, this book deserves a place on your Internet reference bookshelf.
