This book was a pretty big disappointment and obviously written before the Net bubble burst. I am very surprised by all the 5-star reviews here… makes one go hmmm…
First, the book is out of date already. Published in the beginning of 2000 means it was written in 1999 and it shows. Many of the links are dead, or the businesses have changed their focus or been taken over by someone else. The recommendations are for the time when venture capital was plenty and business plans were optional. Those days are over…
Second, this book is geared to a millionaire who has big bucks to blow. There is information on servers and RAID redudancy that is too detailed for the non-techie and too shallow for the tech savvy. I doubt many people starting up an e-business today are looking to spend close to a million. They are looking for a “guerilla” style e-commerce book to get up and running under a few thousand dollars. And, yes, it can be done! I guess I’ll have to write that book if no one else does.
Third, this book is poorly edited with incorrect subject/verb agreement and accept/except style grammatical confusion. Unfortunately I have come to expect poor editing in programming books, but c’mon, this is a book written for a general audience without coding… get a decent editor!
I do give this book one star over the minimum because it does contain some good material but it is not worth buying. Find it in a library or bookstore to copy the useful information as it is not useful as a reference or worth a close read.
