great book - By: , 29 May 1999
A great book for understanding what's happening on the web--essentiallly a must-read for anyone publishing there to any significant extent.
Excellent book for a understanding Web Servers - By: , 17 Apr 1998
This book is excellent, if you want to understand the general properties of a Web server. The book explains the basic jobs a Web server can do in simple way so that many people can understand it. The description of the tasks, which will be performed on a Web server, is not too detailed. Excellent is the explanation of the different types, advantages & disadvantages of process concepts which can be used for Web servers. The securtity issues & the chapter about searching on the Internet are also highlights. I recommend this book for everyone who wants an detailed overview on Web servers & related topics.
An excellent overview of behind-the-scenes web activity - By: , 08 Aug 1997
This is probably as good as it currently gets in explaining web server structure & activity. It's definitely not for computer-newbies, but an excellent read for experienced surfers & probably a must-read for those who're responsible for overseeing webmasters & designers. It's light on the technical end, but very good at explaining what's reallly happening when someone clicks a button in his/her browser app. My only strong criticism is that the examples used to illustrate concepts are inconsistant -- I'd choose one scenario & stick with it throughout the book. But even if one simply doesn't read the examples, the explanations of web browsing, server set-up, security, & communications protocols are well worth reading.
