Customer Reviews

Best Guide for Beginners!

I can't believe all the information in this book! It is written very logically, allowing you to understand IIS, then to learn the technologies involved, then how to install, upgrade, and migrate systems, then on to troubleshooting problems. Reading this book from cover-to-cover is a must! It helps you to step-through the learning process at a pace to really understand IIS.

The Basics and So Much More

I bought this book thinking it was a book for beginner's like myself. And, even though it does cover all of the stuff that I needed to learn, install, and administer IIS 5, it just has so much more. I see the reviews here and they all talk about something really neat about the book. And, I agree with all of them. But, something that really sticks with me after reading through this book is how also walks through HTML, DHTML, VBS, ASP, Java, and how to connect to databases. I'm really new to internet servers and languages, but this book was easy enough to read that I understand it completely. And, I know exactly how it all works with IIS because of all the script examples included in the pages. I didn't know how much IIS uses VB Script. I would recommend this book to anyone.

IIS 5.0 - Full Metal Jacket

I have to admit, this book kept me reading long into the night. It is easy to read and easy to understand. After reading it I can honestly say there were tidbits of information in it that I literally could not find anywhere else. I've bought the other IIS books, so I have some good knowledge under my belt. But, this one seemed to have everything the other books had and so much more. Its funny...the other books I have are approximately 400 pages just like this one. But, what the other books cover in the full 400 pages, this one covers in the first 4 or 5 chapters, and then goes on to cover everything else under the sun for IIS 5.0.

Finally someone let the light shine on IIS

Okay, so my team was faced with the project of building multiple IIS servers. I hadn't installed IIS since the first release that came with NT server. This book saved us. The author speaks English, and guided us easily through the steps from unwrapping to unveiling into production environment. Nice usage of diagrams, hints & tips, and information not readily available elsewhere (that we could find). Anyone who feels overwhelmed by IIS should use this book.
