Summary: Very basic
Review: If you know anything about networks, protocols or general CompTIA Net+ knowledge, don't waste your time. This book just explains what a web server does and defines the different ways it does it. My suggestion would be to go for the NET+ books, they are bigger but have more depth of information. I rankd it a 3 because I was hoping it would explain more of how to set up a web server.

Summary: Web administrators, developers, HTTP professionals Rejoice!
Review: This book is really the best technical "speed read" I've ever enjoyed. A vast array of topics are considered, yet no section is longer than six pages. Each section ends with questions and reflective exercises that give the book a perfect balance for mental stretching. As a curriculum developer, one of the perks is that the book is loaded with ideas I can use when presenting other types of technical materials in my own course development. If you're an intermediate level or novice web professional, you will find something in this book about servers that you previously did not know. I was so jazzed about how fast I blew through the text (under 400 pages -- 3 mornings before leaving for work) that I laid out money for "Web Servers, Security, & Maintenance" from the "Foundation" series. This entire series from Prentice Hall will expand your understanding of Client/Server networks, web applications, and HTTP security. It gets an A+.
