Summary: The SMTP chapter lacks full source code
Comment: The book DOES NOT contain any source code for interfacing with SMTP - only a "MailTo" library function call. The CD-Rom does include the necessary library and corresponding header file to get a clean compile, however good luck getting it to run with a newer version of C++. As with most chapters in the book, the author makes sure you know where to go to buy the commercially available upgrades. I found this book to be totally useless and just a tease to buy other products.

Rating: 4
Summary: Few chapters are good, few are not about ISAPI
Comment: I used chapters 9-11, they are very good and useful. I think there are few more interesting things. I do not know why authors put a lot of info about IDC, ASP and other junk in the book about ISAPI. Also, I'm not happy with Delphi framework chapters .

Summary: OK for filters, doesn't explain extensions
Comment: On the positive side, the book does describe how ISAPI filters work.

On the negative side, it doesn't explain at all how ISAPI extensions work (and most will write far more extensions than filters). ALL of the stuff on ISAPI extensions is built on MFC or Delphi code, which aim to hide the mechanics from the programmer. The issue of how ISAPI extensions work is waved off by the author as drudgery. Drudgery it may be, but it is the topic the book claims to address but doesn't.

I would give the book one star rating out of sheer frustration with the extensions material, but some would find the filter stuff useful, so I'm forgoing a completely negative review.
