Excellent Security Reference, Perfect for Exchange Admins
If you've read the 'Security Operations for Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server' guide from Microsoft, what value can this book possibly add? That's the question I asked myself before digging into this book. Answer: A LOT!

For starters, it's a very well-written book - starts with some great explanations of Security Fundamentals - the buzzwords, the protocols & algorithms, threats, risks, and vulnerabilities. I've read many security books, but seldom have I found just the right balance - as technical as it needs to be, but still interesting enough for the non-techies.

The section on Installing Exchange With Security in Mind is particularly interesting. Everything you want to know about messaging/Exchange security is covered - SMTP Relays, spam, content filtering, antivirus, SSL, MAPI/RPC security, et al. Great coverage of email encryption and Public Key cryptography, Outlook client security, POP/IMAP security. Can never get tired of readng about securing Outlook Web Access.

Overall, a must-read for Exchange admins. The only thing I would've liked to see is: i) this book to be released at least a year ago.. this one's at the tail end of the Exchange 2000 lifecycle - too close to the Titanium (Exchange 2003) release. ii) Perhaps some more coverage of specific vulnerabilities of SMTP and Exchange, and how secure Exchange is compared to other messaging systems - Notes, Sendmail, etc. THE TRADEOFF (or benefit rather) is we have a book that can still be carried with one hand... still under 400 pages without the index. Remarkable! (A round of applause for Paul Robichaux..)

A must for Exchange Administrators
If you maintain or administer Exchange servers, this book is a must for you. It covers a borad set of security topics specific to Exchange server, secure messaging and even secure IM. Very valuable guide for IT. Does not dive at too low a level for practical use.

Strong Message for Secure Messaging
This book has enough information about security, both of the messages and the messaging environment, for a good Exchange administrator to build and maintain a rock solid secure messaging environment.

a good lead into living with nt 4 in the workplace
I like the the combo of necessary theory with enough real life examples to really use it. I hate those books that are all recipes or others who want to get just technical. Ofter the latter ones , give examples that make the theory even more opaque. Real life situations are often very complex. One needs a lot of theory to really figure things out

<P>A must read for NT4 Administrators who want to learn!

After wading through many different NT 4.0 Administrator Bibles, I found this book to be an excellent read. Having not had previous experience supporting an NT environment of any kind, I was looking for some serious help to get up to speed. Well this book did it.

My copy of this book now sports many little "sticky" markers and is wonderfully colored with highlighted and underlined notes. The only "bible" that I've read completely.

This book is well written, easy to follow and does not need to be read in sequential order. I jumped from chapter to chapter and still found the information useful. I have now jumped from "scared" to try it, to "hey let's dive in mode." It's a wonderful feeling when you can get information from a book and feel confident to stride forth into the strange and unknown.

I found an acronym that was new to me, and told the publisher. The next thing I knew, I received a surprise e-mail from the author explaining the acronym with examples. So how many authors do you know that will take the time to answer your questions?

Just trying to get myslef organized to focus on sales efforts, and I found this book very useful - replete with practical advice and hypothetical scenarios. Lean, to the point, actually (dare I say it) entertaining to read, as "professional" books go.


Frank Lloyd Wright's Hanna House : The Clients' Report

What A Story!
This book recounts, in meticulous and fascinating detail, the inside, untold story of the famous architect, and the not-yet-famous educators who dreamed of a home of their own that would grow with and around their young family. A wonderful read, full of personalities and the unexpected challenges of this daring young couple's audacious undertaking of building an "outside the box" home in the 1930s. Hanna Honeycomb house underwent careful reinforcement after it was severely damaged in the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, and is once again available for docent tours. Contact Stanford University, where the home, long ago called "a monstrosity" by other faculty, remains a viable part of the education institution that sustained and grew the young homeowners and their infamous architect. The ashes of the writers, Jean and Paul Hanna, remain lovingly buried on the property, near the home they dreamed, built, adored, and shared with the world.

One word...Outstanding
If you are a developer that has a basic knowledge of SQL Server 2000 or a novice this book is the book for you. Each section is explained so easily you know how to do it with out even testing it out on the software. Very well written! I am only on page 137 and already I have doubled my knowledge about what SQL Server 2000 has to offer.

Usually books that review technology before it is publicly available are really bad. This is an exception.

For those people who need to learn or to become experts in Win2K Server Security, this book should be your first purchase.

If you can have only one book on Sql 7 This Is It!!!
This book can be broken into two distinct parts. The first 546 pages are really for SQL Admin while the remaining pages through 925 are for Developers. Both parts are well worth the read from either perspective. The Appendices apply to both.

Of the eight books currently in print on SQL Server 7 and on my bookshelf this one ranks at the top.

The text flows in an easy to read manner. The illustrations are all legible and placed around the text referencing them. What a breath of fresh air! The CD-ROM actually has useful material on it versus the junk that one usually receives on an accompanying CD.

The book is well organized and presents SQL Server 7 in a manner that maximizes learning. I am giving some very serious thought to using this book as a text for the Masters class that I teach on Database Servers.

Messrs. Otey and Conte have done a superb write. While not the panacea or end all you will be hard pressed to find one single book that accomplishes so very much at an exceptionally affordable price.

Spend the money to buy the book. It belongs on your desk at work. What more can be said?

Regards

Excellent resource for the SQL server developer
As someone new to SQL Server (my company is mainly Oracle), I found this book to be a handy tool. The authors included refreshingly practical explanations and examples for "real-world" enterprise development. Included were extensive details on interfaces, including: OLE DB and ADO; ODBC API (call-level interface); RDO; and VB DAO and ODBCDirect. I found helpful explanations for integrating SQL Server 7 databases with the Web and developing Active Server Pages, which is what I bouhgt the book for.

Of course, this being a book on SQL Server, it is very Microsoft-centric, with examples pointing toward VB and Visual C++, but I expected this.

All in all an excellent resource.

The most complete SQL Server - VB Developer Reference
I have been developing database applications with Visual Basic since version 3.0 of the product was released several years ago. When SQL Server 7.0 was released, I needed to find a complete reference guide that would help me. It had to be a well laid out guide with sample code to help me build highly flexible and scaleable SQL database solutions. This book does it! Not only have I used it to develop VB to SQL Server solutions, but MSAccess to SQL Server and believe it or not, VB and MSAccess to Sybase SQL applications!

Because both Sybase and SQL Server understand the Transact SQL format, it was a helpful! The documentation in the book was so good, I have not yet even taken a look at the included CD-ROM!

I want to encourage ANY intermediate to advanced VB/Database developer to buy this book! BUY THIS BOOK FELLOW VBers and Access developers!!!!!
