Few chapters are good, few are not about ISAPI
I used chapters 9-11, they are very good and useful. I think there are few more interesting things. I do not know why authors put a lot of info about IDC, ASP and other junk in the book about ISAPI. Also, Im not happy with Delphi framework chapters .

OK for filters, doesnt explain extensions
On the positive side, the book does describe how ISAPI filters work.On the negative side, it doesnt explain at all how ISAPI extensions work (and most will write far more extensions than filters). ALL of the stuff on ISAPI extensions is built on MFC or Delphi code, which aim to hide the mechanics from the programmer. The issue of how ISAPI extensions work is waved off by the author as drudgery. Drudgery it may be, but it is the topic the book claims to address but doesnt. I would give the book one star rating out of sheer frustration with the extensions material, but some would find the filter stuff useful, so Im forgoing a completely negative review.

Java Fundamental Classes Reference (Java S.)
|
As others have pointed out, there isnt much here that isnt in the freely available JDK documentation. Also, most computer books lag behind the actual software they cover. There are a few indispensable "classic" computer books out there, but theyre all about stuff like UNIX, TCP/IP, and C, targets th..
