Controversy

Actually, this book is a controversy.It looks like people really liked it or hated it. And this depends on whether what they were looking for was in this book or not.The book's title is misleading because the book will NOT teach you how to actually manage a Mac web server.Instead, it will tell you everything you need to know about Mac servers and will give you weblinks to deepens your search.I didnot know anything about Mac server and now, I am pretty knowledgeable about all possible options to choose from for how to use a Mac server.What I really appreciated was the panel of options Hart describes of web software.This is a general book with only horizontal knowledge.A great first time user's book!!!

A primer for providing internet services under Mac OS X

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.
