Summary: Decent, but not excellent
Review: I found this book to be helpful in some respects - it went into great detail about setting up a store, and some of the basics. However, I found that the really tough SSCE pieces -- such as pipelines -- were not covered in enough depth to be useful to me. I have a better conceptual understanding now, but I'm not sure I know any more about how to actually implement a real pipeline for a real site.

Summary: A brilliant tutorial
Review: I'm a Web Developer, dealing with eCommerce without SSCE so far. I've been trying to increase the functionality of our sites, so I reverted to SSCE recently.The book provides an excellent tutorial, starting from scratch and moving on to advanced issues like personalisation & cross-selling, in a very understandable way. Just a basic knowledge of ASP and IIS issues is required to go through the book easily. Finally, i found issues covered on the book that we'd never even though of, like cross-selling, buy-now features, security & performance considerations and workarounds etc. An excellent book !

Summary: Good but not excellent!
Review: It is a good book which introduce SSCE, especially for the beginner. Howerver, it is not excellent (like "Professional ASP 2.0" from wrox). I really studied something from this book which covers some very important topics such as Commerce Server Objects, Pipeline, and Wallet/Pay Now. However, this author did not want to explain them deeply. A lot of things could be gotten from SSCE document. The first six chapters are nothing. Not only waste your time but also challenge your patient. Don't expect this book is a bible for SSEC. It is just "second" reference. Before reading this book, I finished other two books (Pro ASP 2/Pro Site Server 3) from wrox, they are excellent. After that, I read this book, I am really disappointed, because this book did not explain SSCE in details and at the advanced level. Honestly, only because this book is from wrox and the author did good jobs in others, I gave this book "3 stars". If not, I gave it 2 stars.

Summary: Great Examples
Review: The book has lots of code examples and great documentation on Site Server CE Objects. It is lacking in the features such as ad server and personalization and membership. This is the best book I have found so far on Site Server CE.
