About this title

Synopsis

Site Server 3.0 is a set of building blocks for business Web Sites, which provide many common functions and services pre-built. Lexis-Nexis, Thomson abd Dell are using Site Server for their sites. Site Server is in the early stages of its adoption and demand for development skills is growing fast as companies realise how expensive developing business sites from scratch really is. Site Server provides: personalization and membership content management and deployment banner ad management commerce pipeline (in Commerce Edition) online store frameworks.

Review

While Microsoft Site Server is a powerful and productive way to build commerce sites, the breadth of the suite's features make it tough to get an immediate handle on the product. Professional Site Server 3.0 is a definitive guide that serves as both a tutorial to Site Server's features as well as an implementation guide.

The authors--a group of experts inside and outside of Microsoft--address all of the installation issues, followed by advice on how to manage content and users. Case studies show how to integrate various Web technologies with Site Server and how to deploy public and private commerce sites.

Each section is well organised and includes plenty of code examples and architectural diagrams. The writing isn't cluttered with formatting gimmicks but is a straightforward presentation of essential material. Though developers of all stripes should be able to handle the content, the book is best suited to those already experienced in Microsoft IIS and ASP development.

If you develop Microsoft Web sites you should investigate Site Server. If you use this powerful tool, you should definitely have this guide on your shelf. --Stephen W. Plain, Amazon.com
