Overall, I would not recommend this book to intranet developers unless their company has the luxury to start from square one or to trash existing systems as desired. This book sorely lacks in a critical area of intranet development, which is integration with existing systems, particularly poignant when introducing a new technology like ASP.NET. I would recommend, however, procuring a copy of at least the document management system, if not the CMS and employee information system as well. The book may serve as a somewhat helpful accompaniment to this code, but the code itself, if used, would easily pay for the price of the book. |
