Customer Reviews

An excellent hands-on tool

This is the best I've seen on setting up an intranet. My only concern is that it is becoming a bit dated -- if a new edition were to come out I would buy it in a second!

How about a second edition!

Tim, this is a good piece of work, however, this is 1998. How about a second edition? Excellent book. It pulls it all together.

Well-organized, clearly-written, in-depth look at subject.

For anyone interested in developing an internal network based on the World Wide Web model, this is the book to use. It covers all aspects of the topic from its "Introduction to the World Wide Web" to "New Intranet Possiblities." Each chapter starts with objectives, which are summarized at the end. In between, Evans covers each topic clearly with examples from real life. Evans steps the reader through the creation of a basic Intranet and then adds on all the bells and whistles. And he makes cogent analyses and criticisms of the software and techniques he discusses. Included is a CD-ROM with much of the Unix, Windows, and Mac software used to create Internet and Intranet sites. For anyone in an organization considering this technology, this book is well worth its price.
