Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good book for novice
Review: I agree with the other reviews. This is a hard copy of online docs and the friendship database you can get off of the microsoft site for free. Invest your money in another book if you already have experience with SQL and Interdev. I give it 3 stars because I think it would be a good book for beginners.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not the worst book out there.
Review: I'm a VB developer and SQL DBA who needed to learn how to develop intranet/internet solutions for central administration of 130+ SQL Servers. Plus, you gotta know this web stuff. I like the concept of 'learning by doing' which is the reason I purchased this book. However, I found numerous errors that made going through this book frustrating at best. With this type of approach, you can't just write it without testing. I have learned to overlook bad grammer, but not bad code. Where do you get your editors?

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not the worst book out there.
Review: This is a decent book for anyone who knows very little about interdev. I liked the step-by-step tutorials, but they can get frustrating quickly. It's a good intro book, but halfway through it, you'll be looking for something better.

The Author mentions that she owns the Enterprise Edition of Interdev. This is important because she has installed ALL the options and assumes the reader has done the same. If you are not using the Enterprise edition, have your own web server running on NT, and a ton of other packages, then this book will be fairly maddening.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Too browser specific
Review: When I started this book it looked pretty good, but by the middle I found that it was only creating pages that would work on IE and even that was a chore. I need to design pages that fit a wide variety of browsers, and this book does not nearly fit the bill.
