Customer Reviews

Excellent IIS book

A must for everyone who is serious about IIS. I have read it from cover to cover. Stanek is simply the best technical writer about windows. You get the impression that he really knows what he is talking about and isn't afraid to share. This book will show you every feature that you need to know.

Best IIS book I've found

I got a lot of value out of this book. It is the best IIS book I've found bar none. The book has lots of useful information. I think every Windows or Web admin should buy this. There's lots of advice that has saved me time and again. Great book!

Definitive IIS book in small package

It is a very complete look at Windows 2000 and IIS 5 administration. It features lots of detailed information as well as the step-by-step procedures that are absoltely necessary to being successful. I haven't found another IIS book that was as useful in day to day. I would have to say this should be part of every IIS admin's library. Some of the chapters are really worth the price of the book, especially when Stanek's expert advice gets you out of a jam. I had a lot of problems with FTP and SMTP before I got this book. I also used to have problems understanding IIS security. You should buy this one without a doubt.

# 1in my book

Windows 2000 and IIS 5.0 Administrator's Pocket Consultant is the most useful IIS book I've ever bought. I use this book more than any other, so glad the cover is thick and the spine capable of handling a beating. The rounded corners are good so that the corners don't curl/bend like on other books. I found the detailed information to be very good and in most cases there's more information in this book than in the huge references I used to use. Excellent resource and highly recommended.

Most comprehensive guide to IIS available

Wow! This book is incredible....Until now I had been looking for a good book in IIS and wasn't able to find one then I happned to see this one. I must say it is the most complete IIS book that I have ever found. I have found many chapters that by themselves were worth the price of the book take chapter 4 for example that covers customizing IIS. In that signle chapter Mr. Stanek provides a detailed guide to understanding how ISAPI/ASP applications works and how you can optimize IIS for various needs. He provides a step by step detailed examination of pooling impact on memory/CPU usage and then details how to customize the environment for pooled and nonpooled applications. After thatm he goes into how you can map custom application extensions, manage session state, control buffering and more. He even details how to unload applications from memory then finishes the chapter by providing a fewe additional customization tips, like how to create an update site that can be displayed while you are updating a primary site, how to create advertising jump pages and how to create customized 404 error pages. Again, I must say WOW because that is only one chapter in a book filled with such chapters. This book is incredible and the only person that would every say it wasn't is someone who doesn't want other administrators to have these secrets. I use this book to help me manage our corporate web site and I've never found a question that it couldn't answers. I highly recommend this book.
