Inside Appletalk

This is awsome book. If you are into troubleshooting appletalk, or just want to learn detail about AppleTalk Protocol this is great book. This books also talks about the difference between AppleTalk Phase I & II. I like this book specially because its writen by the creator of AppleTalk Mr. Gurcharn Singh Sindhu. Mr. Sidhu really know AppleTalk inside out, he is the God of AppleTalk.

If all protocol books were this easy to read....

I've stated before that I appreciate the style of Radia Perlman. She tells a story, giving rich insight as to why things do what they do.This book comes close to doing the same thing, in a spirit crossed between Stevens' TCP/IP Illustrated and Perlman's writings.AppleTalk is an elegant protocol many too quickly dismiss as "outdated." Within it exist many working paradigms regarding utilitarian "ease of use" connectivity that would be of great benefit to those brainstorming where to grow TCP/IP.This book is well worth the money, and even though we've stopped developing AppleTalk stacks its constantly referenced for creative examples.The technical writers responsible for this book should be proud of themselves. Its top notch.
