3.0 out of 5 stars Superficial Edition Using HTML3.2 - JAVA1.1 And CGI, March 30, 1998

By A Customer

This is the classic book that a good observer cannot leave on the shelf. Yes... Exactly!.. See it, it's big, and seems to be saying "Buy me, Buy me!"... But behind a talking book, ther's the far side of the coin... Even if I must admit some of the contents are well studied, many others are really unuseful. The author looses time in teaching a lot of programs that surely a good WebMaster already knows (and, in the rare case hi does not, he'd better buy a specific book for each prog.)... Going on, I got disappointed for the Java/CGI section of the book... Too dispersive... Sorry... How's that possible that a so huge and vast argument (Java and CGI programming) can be so lightly shown to the reader?... But now, let's go to the worst side... U probably think that that's a good price... And, opening the book, u surely could think.. "Man, that way I can buy 13 book toghether!!"... Yes, sure... But... Try to read the other 12... An ELECTRONIC book, it's all but a book... No pictures, and a really hard reading challenge... But looking at the whole package, I cannot say "that's a steal!"... So, I give 6 to the book, just for the gifts it has behind the covers...

5.0 out of 5 stars A great Bargain!, February 23, 2000

By A Customer

This book is awesome, especially the CDs that came with it. The package is very relevant for me being a webmaster, the books gave me the idea of the different concept of building and implementing a web server in different platforms!

4.0 out of 5 stars A valuable compendium for serious website builders, February 27, 1998

By A Customer

I agree this book shouldn't say it covers Java1.1, but I was surprised at the number of negative reviews here, so I went and checked your page on Stanek's book. What seems to be going on is that people who are into web pages that LOOK good love Stanek's book, but people who are into web pages that DO things (like electronic commerce) find useful info in the Que book on subjects such as Web connectivity to databases, database primers, and so forth that Stanek does not seem to cover. I did not buy this book primarily as an HTML book. And even though the Java coverage is dated, it's well illustrated and much more extensive than Stanek's coverage of Java seems to be. Mac users may be annoyed that the CDs are for Windows only.
