5 out of 5 stars A primer for providing internet services under Mac OS X   June 2, 2001
 3 out of 15 found this review helpful

David Hart updates his Web Server Handbook to Mac OS X. His text touches on all the issues you would need to address to host a web site on you Mac OS X machine, or to provide other internet services like FTP, email, et al. This book doesn't cover all the details, but it points you in the right directions to get all the answers to any questions it brings up. I highly recommend it for anyone considering using their Mac OS X box to serve a web site. This book also touches on the client applications available on the platform.


2 out of 5 stars Not a handbook, not about Web servers   May 21, 2001
 24 out of 25 found this review helpful

This is a classic puff piece of a book. There is very little real, practical information provided. Most of the material has little or nothing to do about Mac OS X specifically, and the little there is will not prove helpful, except to provide the most basic overview of Mac OS X. The only people who should buy this book would be those who are not very conversant with even the basics of the Internet. For example, if you need an entire chapter devoted to Web _browsers_, then buy this book. The only redeeming feature about this book is that the writing is not too bad, for a technical book, but the marketing is downright deceptive. This book is not a handbook, and contains material that only tangentially concerns Mac OS X, to no practical good effect.
