Book Reviews of Introducing Windows Server 2008
Book Review: Much better after a second read.
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this book when it was the only Windows 2008 book available. I used it along with many downloaded Step-By-Step Guides and Whitepapers from Microsoft to prepare for and pass the 70-649 Upgrade exam.
The first time I read through this book I hated it. The only thing that keep me going was the fact that there wans't any other books out there. What I hated was the less than serious tone to the book. Of course, I don't beleive that it was originally ment to be published. I admit that I'm more criticle than most, since I spent 15 years writing course curriculm.
But my opion of the book did a complete 180 on the second read. By that time I was numb to the "what was supose to be funning" parts. I was able to just ignor them instead of letting it get on my nerves. Also by this time I had read all of that downloaded stuff. I could see that some of the book was simple cut-n-paste from the downloaded stuff, but there was plenty of original stuff, and very usfull insights. Considering how ealy in the development cycle it was written, this book is extreamly complete and well organized.
Even though, there are now plenty of other Widows 2008 books to choose from, I feel that this book could still be very usfull as a first read. As the title says, its an introduction to Windows 2008.
