- Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2005Format: PaperbackSome useful information, but way too much useless garbage,
they could compress this book to about 1/4 of the size
- Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2004Format: PaperbackMy web site runs on Windows, IIS, Cold Fusion and Microsoft Sql Server. At the time I was building the site those were the packages to use. .asp, the Microsoft equivalent of Cold Fusion, hadn't been invented.
If I were doing it over, I wouldn't use any of this software. I'd use Linux, Apache, PHP, and MySQL or maybe Postgre, like some 73% of the web servers out there. In fact, I know I need to step up to the learning curve and started with this book. I've taken an old machine and with this book I was able to get the operating system (which comes on CD and DVD) to run. Now I'm going to Chapter 17 and turning to the section "Choosing a Database: MySQL Versus PostgreSQL."
This book is not totally simple. I've read few thousand page computer books that were simple. The book is well organized into chapters that lead you through what you want to know. Those chapters that don't interest you, just skip. I'm building a web server, the chapter on Viewing TV and Video isn't of much interest. This material is well isolated from the rest so that it's easy to skip.
Is this the best possible book. How can I say? I can say that it worked for me.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2004Format: PaperbackSoftware provided with this book runs just fine, however quite a few patches are required after the install has compleated. As for the book, it is written extreamly terse and covers the Linux 2.6 kernel. Since there are over a thousand pages, almost everything is covered. If you buy this book, might I suggest you also buy "Linux in a Nut Shell" by O'Reilly publishers so you have a command reference book.
