Good book for 1996...but not 2000 1 out of 5 stars.
10 of 10 people found this review helpful.

In brief, this book has not been updated since 1996. Much of its information (and the contents of the companion CD-ROM) is sorely outdated.

The introductory chapters, which give an encapsulated history of the Internet and the Web (and all the terminology that goes with it), are interesting. But after that, it's basically an abridged Webstar 1.2 manual. The latter chapters on CGI scripting are still helpful.

Those interested in specifically learning about running and managing your own site server are better off going online or just reading the current Webstar manual.

Editorial Review:

Wiederspan has been a world-recognized guru of Macintosh WWW software and site administration for years, and wrote one of the first WYSIWIG HTML editors. Now he teams with Chuck Shotton -- creator of WebSTAR and MacHTTP -- to teach you everything you know to set up a Mac-based WWW site. Includes a strong chapter on writing CGI applications in AppleScript, C and other languages, and a CD-ROM with WebStar and everything else you need to set up and effectively administer a Mac WWW site. Recommended.

This is a must have if you want to set up a web server! 4 out of 5 stars.

I bought this book with every intention of turning my new Mac G3 minitower into a webserver. The "Cookbook" easily walks new and experienced users through the set-up of a web, e-mail, FTP, and news server, then does more. The authors actually set up their own and list the pros and cons of various software packages, which were mostly shareware. For those of us who don't want to buy OSX, this is the way to go.

An approachable, authoritative reference source 4 out of 5 stars.

Dear David and Philip:

Thank you for a very helpful book. Previously, I have searched for a wide variety of current sources on setting up a Mac server. Your book has already been very useful to my computer lab's elementary student leaders who are learning to set up a Macintosh server. Especially helpful has been the book's links to sites relevant to the various topics.
