LCS for Professional

Yves Zouzouambe, Software Architect

A very well written book by Joe Schurman that explains in plain language the architecture of Microsoft Live Communications Server, Joe also walks the reader through real life scenarios for the deployment and configuration of LCS within a corporate environment. Great attention is paid to security which is a big concern to most companies deploying this technology; I would strongly recommend this book to anyone remotely interested in Real Time Communication in general and in LCS in particular. Joe's writing style is full of humor and makes reading this book a piece of cake.

Excellent LCS Reference

Well-written & very readable - and packed with immediately useful information on this interesting, emerging technology. Obviously written from a real-world 'been there done that' perspective - this will become your go-to LCS reference as you climb the learning curve to mastery.

In typical fashion, Schurman demonstrates his in-depth knowledge of the product and takes the reader from start to finish of each technology included with LCS. If you're new to LCS, want to learn more on this unified communication technology, or simply want to know some secrets, this is a must-have book in your arsenal.

Excellent Reference

For anyone who not only wants the "how to" of LCS but also solutions to common hurdles implementing LCS in an enterprise environment, this is the book for you. Shurman demonstrates deep knowledge of LCS and shares a wealth of experience gained through his own intimate experience with this technology.
