It will teach programmers what this new API is, how it can best be used, and provide a lifetime reference. The CD includes Microsoft's Internet Information Server software, the ISAPI Software development Kit (SDK) and a broad range of ISAPI programs from which the reader can learn. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - comprehensive, tutorial approach using examplesI was so appalled with the one and two star reviews for this book that I just had to write my own review. I gave this book a five star because it used a tutorial approach with its examples to instruct and teach this difficult subject. With a little tweaking I could get the examples to work. Getting an ISAPI to work from barebones, without the extra heavy weight of MFC was in itself worth five stars. If you are going to do ISAPI with MFC, don't waist your time, use ASP. Get this book and kiss MFC ... Read More Rating:  - Overpriced ShovelwareRead the Microsoft documentation instead. This book is a thinly disguised rip-off of the Microsoft documentation padded with examples of dubious value. In 590 pages this book manages to add no value or information beyond the original documentation. That's quite an achievement. Rating:  - If you like pain, ISAPI is for youIf you want to learn ISAPI...think again. This was "hot" 2 years ago...now it is all but dead. ISAPI's big promise was better performance and memory usage...ironic that it has now fallen in favor to the biggest performance pig of all web applications...ASP. In an age of fast machines and small web apps, rapid development and ease of use wins out over performance. ISAPI is hard to learn, harder to get right, unstable, bug ridden (if written in MFC) and surprisingly inflexible. Read More Rating: - Best of the available ISAPI books, has reasonable examplesISAPI is Microsoft's approach to adding capabilities to web serving. There are only a few books that describe how to use ISAPI. This book is the best of them, because the author: 1) provides examples in both C and C++, and 2) compares ISAPI with CGI solutions. Unfortunately, ISAPI is a complicated subject, so more and shorter examples would help elucidate the reader. Rating: - Do not waste you moneyThis book basically is a collection of paper from different writers. Most writers look like only know some script language but not C or C++. A lot of content is duplicated. Different terms are used in different places. I hope QUE can save the paper for the forest and buyer can keep the money in their packet. |
