Book Reviews of Windows Server 2008 Inside Out
Book Review: Great book, very helpful
Summary: 5 Stars
As an admin, I've used this book since I bought it last year and it's answered my every question. Stanek's books are the benchmark of quality for computer manuals. He knows Windows and Microsoft products better than anyone else and he's both an actual writer AND a technical guru, giving us readers the best of both worlds- books that are readable, relavant and right on target. In the introduction William states he started working with Windows Server 2008 over when it was first being developed at Microsoft over six years ago and his intensive experience with the OS truly shows in every page. When you're reading it you feel you have a world class expert at your side - because you do.
This Inside Out uses every bit of its 1482 pages to provide clear, concise, accurate and descriptive information. The author notes the options a user has and provides an expert's perspective on their value and use. Beyond mere description of features and functionality, the book digs into the hows and whys and whens to use. The introductory chapter gets right into architecture changes, 64-bit computer, virtualization. It also highlights new diagnostic features and changes.
There is good reason that Stanek has been described as one of the "world's best technical writers." He is the best at providing an expert's perspective on working with the operating system efficiently. The book is written so that one almost feels that you are getting a hands-on lesson in using Windows Server 2008 straight from the author.
Beyond all of the information, advice and real world extras, Stanek has a great writing style. The writing is clear, concise and well organized, extremely rare for a computer related book. Stanek writes for multiple levels of need and understanding. He details the essentials for beginners, provides deeper material for intermediate admins, and digs in deep with extra material useful for advanced admins. There are many notes, tips and sidebars throughout which offer more technical tips, shortcuts, and expert insights. If you're an admin in small, medium or large business this is probably the only reference source you'll need to learn Windows Server 2008. Covers the core features, roles, services extensively.
