| High Performance ISAPI/NSAPI Web Programming: Your Complete Guide to Fast, Powerful Web Server Programs |
|
|
A good overview - but lacks important detail.
A fine introduction to, and overview of, ISAPI and NSAPI programming ... but if you need to do serious ISAPI/NSAPI work, this is not for you. When you need the real details, this book doesnt do the job.

Quick-start to web programming basics
You can read this book in a day, and walk away with a good understanding of the life of an HTTP request from client, through server, web application, and back. This is no work of art, but it quickly gets the job done. Useful examples that watch the HTTP exchange reveal exactly what the client and server say to eachother. The NSAPI coverage is a good compliment to our (Netscapes) online documentation - the latter is a better reference, the former, a better introduction.

Great jump-start to NSAPI programming
The only book Ive found for NSAPI. Good tutorial and CD. A great jumping-off point for NSAPI programming. This text fills in the gaps left by Netscapes online docs, enabling you to immediately start coding NSAPI. Examples are good, but their format in the book is poor - I spent days getting my first config working because the book line-wraps the sample obj.conf text without any notation. (It looked like 2 separate config lines - see page 164.) The book dedicates many chapters each to NSAPI and ISAPI, covering them in good detail. Also included is source code for a C++ framework thats works on either ISAPI or NSAPI servers. In all, this book is definitely worth buying. I only wish it had been published sooner.

Active Server Page Programming

I dont know why this book has had so many bad reviews. I am of the group that give this 5 crowns. It has a superb mix, showing you how to interact with databases, how to write your own ActiveX controls to send email etc. My one problem was the reliability of the VBMail component supplied, but a quic..

The TOPICS that need to be covered while building a website are covered. However the book could have contained more relevant information as to total comparitive costs (bottom line). The authors write about building websites, but have they actually implemented a real website? The authors raise the qu..

ActiveX ISAPI Scripting
|
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 ...

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..
