Product Review
NT and UNIX Intranet Secrets has little to do with Windows NT and almost nothing to do with Unix. There is a lot of information in these pages, but regardless, the things you'll learn will not make you much more qualified to run a heterogeneous intranet. As an indication of this book's depth of Unix coverage, note this: the authors include one and a half pages (with a screen shot) on DNS and routing under Unix. Enough said.
Taking a scattershot approach to intranet creation and maintenance--an editorial choice that characterizes many large books--Crawford and Russel cover everything from Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) architecture to how to staff a development team. On their wild march through intranet subjects, the authors tromp though content planning, the TCP/IP protocols, HTML authoring tools, JavaScript, digital signatures, Perl, and Netscape Enterprise Server. About a zillion subjects get some coverage in this book, none of it in depth.
If you're a manager, you may get enough out of this book to make it worthwhile, but you'll still probably want to look elsewhere. If you're a technician, you'll find it sorely lacking.
--David Wall
