The only book for Net.Commerce

Aside from the offical IBM documentation, this is the only third party book on the IBM Net.Commerce product. The author is very knowledgable on the product and provides an excellent, must have reference for anyone using Net.Commerce. I used this book to assist with my studying for the certification and as a result scored very well and feel I have expert level knowledge of the Net.Commerce system.This book is not for beginner level users, it's designed for intermediate level users, to take full advantage of all the material presented here you should know C++ (at least three chapters cover customizing the Net.Commerce system using C++), you also should know HTML and exposer to IBM's Net.Data is nice (although she does provide a very good tutorial on Net.Data).

Good Book but not the Software

I used this book and the IBM certification guide to prepare and pass the Net.Commerce exam. However, I must point out that the timebomb version of Net.Commerce included can only be installed before year 2000, therefore, you must change your computer time to setup. It takes me 4 whole days to find out this.

Whats next and when

We have used this rev of the book extsnsively in our consulting practice. The book has been great to be able to determine functionality that the product can supply and then some examples on implementation. Now.. we are considering purchasing more copies of the book as our business expands around this product. We need to know if and when a new edition will be published that will encompass the new version of the software so we can proceed with more book purchases.

An authentic book for IBM e-business product " net.commerce

The approach of the book is more like a workshop, with a perfect blend of concept and theory. Since it is about a specific product, net.commerce, from IBM, most of the technical details are given. The workshop exercises lead to a solution of hosting a ecommerce enabled site. The author took the help of experts for certain topics to make it more authentic.She concentrated on 'HOW to' than 'what is' and for the people who are planning to venture into e-business and want to beome a player in e-business., this book can be guide, to start with.Samantha Shruety, in her maiden attempt, did extremely well. The book serves the purpose for the people want to become proficient in 'net.commerce'. Also I feel that this book can be used for a third party courseware book for the IBM certifcation of "Planning, Implenting and supporting net.commerce v3 " test #451.Samantha, is involved in IBM team for the development of documentation for net.commerce and some similarities do exist for the presentation style of online documentation of IBM.However, some topics are not covered like eTILL, DB2 extender, NC utilities like ncclean,etc. Some topics should have been spared for DB2, though it needs volumes to discuss. Salient points in each chapter should have been given points wise, to attract the attention.As a whole, every page is valuable and the book offers a valuable source of information on net.commerce V3.0.

Takes you from novice to expert in a matter of days@

She did an excellent job of taking me from the basic concepts of e-business through planning, designing, deployment, customization, and management of a store using Net.Commerce.
