Summary: Finally a decent book on CS2K!
Comment: After waiting 6 months for a decent book on Commerce Server 2000, I finally got it! This book does a great job giving an overall view of the product before diving into the nitty gritty information. Unlike any other book currently on the market, this one gives a great architectural layout of each part of CS2K (user profiling, campaigning, catalogs, etc...) and then gives code examples. Great job WROX!

Summary: Structured Analysis of all aspects of Commerce Server
Comment: This book is definitely a well structured technology book. It provides a detailed analysis of all the aspect of Commerce Server, but if you are not too familiar with some of the aspects you might end up buying other WROX books. For instance the business analysis part is missing some critical pieces and the explanation of how to create custom reports is too brief. In my opinion Commerce Server 2000 is a product meant for tailoring and plumbing; this book deals mostly with the plumbing. So, programmers will like it, business analysts might be shopping for something else. Looking at the variety in quality and inconsistency of the examples you notice that they have worked on the book with several authors. This book could have done a much better job if the reader were walked through the actual building of a solution site. The Business-to-Business is too brief for the far reaching potential of the Commerce Server 2000 product.

Summary: Ridden with too many errors
Comment: For 16 authors (programmers??) to make so many typos, mistakes, ommissions, is unacceptable. I even sent email to the authors who cared to provide addresses and none responded.
The authors must have been confused or took so much for granted. The problems I found with the book are too many. For example: Code snippets fail, poor steps (making the book a very tidious read.). The steps are embedded in lengthy theories, making them impossible to follow. Focus is lost and references are poor. For example, on page 88, they write "you can find this function [global_service_lib.asp] in the include directory". Wrong because, the global_service_lib.asp resides in the siteroot/service/include directory. These are minute errors that can frustrate many readers in the middle of the night.
Some diligence should be put into books that involve program codes. I generally do not tolerate such errors from programmers. We should be people akin to details!!
