Product Description
This book is designed to teach multiple subjects important to the real estate professional. Let's face it, most real estate professionals don t have the time to attend computer classes or sit down with a boring technical how-to book and learn how to make a font five different colors! What most professionals want are quick relevant instruction on how to maximize the use of a software product, as applied in selling or buying real estate. This book isn t formatted to be read from the very beginning to the end. Rather it is designed for you to jump from chapter to chapter and learn what you need to accomplish that specific task.

Product Description
This book is the definitive guide to SNMP-based network and internetwork management for network administrators, managers, and designers. Concise, focusing on practical issues, and completely up to date, it covers SNMPv1, SNMPv2, and the most recent SNMPv3, as well as RMON 1 and RMON 2. The book provides an extensive discussion on standard MIBs (Management Information Bases), including MIB-II and the all-important Ethernet Interface MIB for Internet connections. In addition, the book presents RMON 1 and RMON 2 enhancements, looking at statistics collection, alarms, and filters, as well as the extensions to RMON 1 for RMON 2 devices.

Amazon.com Review
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and the related Remote Network Monitoring (RMON) standards make it possible for network administrators to control and monitor even the most complicated networks. In a textbook-style treatment, William Stallings's SNMP, SNMPv2, SNMPv3, and RMON 1 and 2 explains what's behind this family of popular networking standards. The book begins with some theory about what tasks network administrators need to do, such as monitoring performance, faults, and accounting, along with configuration and security control. The guide then describes SNMP--which was introduced in 1989--as a successful solution to the basic problems of network administration. (One of the strengths of SNMP is that it allows administrators to work with disparate networks running on TCP/IP.) The author details how an SNMP Management Information Base (MIB), which stores network information, is organized and also how the protocol works to collect and store network information. The RMON standard actually uses SNMP with its own MIB format to collect statistics about a network. The author provides detailed descriptions of this information, along with RMON filters and alarms, which can be used to troubleshoot a network. New and improved standards RMONv2, SNMPv2, and SNMPv3 comprise the remainder of this book. RMONv2 allows network administration of more kinds of networks and devices. SNMPv2 provides enhanced administration capabilities, while SNMPv3 adds the security and encryption that was lacking in earlier versions of the protocol. This textbook is crammed with tables and statistics, and shows off the author's command of the relevant networking standards. Much more readable than the Request for Comments (RFC) documents that describe these standards, this title provides a comprehensive reference work on SNMP and RMON for the working Internet professional. --Richard Dragan

Good solid information

First off the book showed up quickly (Under 7 days, I forget exactly how many, but I was satisfied)
Second, we develop and maintain an embedded SNMP implementation in our product. I understood snmpv1, was weak on v2 and knew nothing of v3. This book gave me a good solid understanding of snmpv3 and how it interacts with v1 & v2. So I found this book useful for my uses in implementing and maintaining snmp.

Good reference for SNMP.
Quite useful introduction on Network Management principles, to set the stage.You may need to dig into some more detail reference (RFCs) for some specific answers but still this book is suggested for SNMP developers and testers.

This book is deep down description of all the OIDs and structure of SNMP.
If you want to know how the messages get through (SNMP get and other commands) in a developer's point of view, and you want a full dump of all the leafs and OIDs in the MIB structure, then this book is for you.
If you are a systems administrator looking for a practical way to understand how to use SNMP to manage your network devices, then look elsewhere (Essential SNMP, for instance).

This is the best book I found on SNMP. I found Essential SNMP to be lacking in detail and the descriptions in Managing Internetworks with SNMP were not so clear. So far it has been able to answer every question I have had regarding SNMP.

I had to buy this book as part of a Network Management class and have found it to be utterly useless during and afterwards. It is definatly the worse book that I have ever had to buy. First, it was mighty expensive for the quality of the writing/material. Second, the material within the book could have covered in a much better way. It was very difficult to understand because it travelled much to far into SNMP/RMON. I found it almost useless as a reference, because it did not cover anything in a way that was pertinant to actually using SNMP/RMON on a network. I believe that Stallings definatly complicates SNMP beyond all reconition, FUBAR even. It lacked real world examples and uses. Perhaps this book would be great for someone who develops apps based on SNMP, but for someone who wants to learn about using it, its a massive waste of time.

This book is written in a manner that makes students laugh and want to continue reading. I use it as a class reference book but had to order more as it was regularly checked out. Students use Flanders site along with the Cool Site of the Day website to review sites daily. They then write their own reviews using the guidelines suggested in the book.

This book is fantastic for those of us who know how do code sites all day long but aren't that great at design. I don't know that I will end up buying the book, however. I learned what I needed to from it by borrowing it from the library and taking notes as I went.
What this book made me do was to think about what my users needed to make the page work for them. If you're in e-commerce, you want to know what will help users click to buy. If you're sharing opinion or fact, you want your users to click on the information you have to offer. If they don't read it or won't click on it, you've "lost the sale."
What this book does for me is to help technical people like me be more aware of the asthetics of site design. If my site doesn't have a site map, people who use site maps won't stick around long. If my site doesn't have a search capability, many users will go elsewhere so they can search through a site rather than having to click to find what they want.
I could go on, but SOWPTS does its job very well - it educates users on what doesn't work. It goes beyond it as well by helping us find alternatives to "what sucks" so our pages can reach more of our audience.

If you like Madison Avenue hype you should take to this book sweetly because that's what it's all about,(crass, loud, stupid, repetitive drivel.) To say this author is a hypocrite and a shameless self-promoter would be just stating the obvious to anyone with an IQ above 85. The question is,'Is it entertaining?'. I don't think so although I did find it offensive in many places. Here's one : He thinks Barry White's teeth sparkling on an ad displayed at Amazon.com was racist and offensive but somehow his coined repetitive use of the term 'Mystery Meat' for 'Interactive Navigation' is not. Oh yeah, here's another great quote, 'The only way I'm waiting 9 minutes for a page to load is if I get to see Penelope Cruz in her birthday suit !'. Nothing offensive or sexist about that stupid remark and that's the problem with this book in a nutshell; too much of idiot Flanders and not enough objective content. Like I said if you were a schoolyard bully and really adore Madison Ave. and idiocy then this book will make you smile. I've personally known more sensitive guys on loading docks.

Ok all I can say is wow. This man uses insults (accurately) to get the job done. I found myself wanting to redo things on my site and other sites I design just so he wouldn't find it and use it as a bad example. Good God. He is RIGHT ON on a lot of that stuff.
I disagreed him with him when it came to Flash. He thinks Flash is unnecessary, which it is in certain circumstances... but... he failed to mention adult sites which really use the art of visualization for the ultimate sale, which is what he discusses - that websites should be about bringing in money. Other than that and his not-so-secret hate for splash pages (although again, he failed to mention that some sites actually REQUIRE them by law)... I agreed with him on everything else in the book.
He gets into the Do's and Don'ts and really blasts the sites that use tacky animated Gifs on clashing backgrounds, unclean and unfocused sites, sites that don't use alt tags on images, and it really covers a whole lot of things that are just plain wrong. Way wrong.
He even got into a subject about never including text that says 'Click Here' and at first I scratched by head and thought - but why not?? And he showed some examples of it done right, and examples of how bad and tacky it can look when it is used wrong. I immediately got inspired and got rid of all of my 'Click here' text and sure enough, the results looked much more professional.
I have at least 20 high-maintenance business sites I constantly work on, and that being said - I am constantly feeling pretty positive about the work that I do. He doesn't care how good you think you are. He will be brutal. And it's about time someone steps forward to say it.
'A webmasters job is never complete' is an accurate statement.
He doesn't just give negative criticism... he offers good advice and solutions that are doable and just require effort and a sense of direction.
The bottom line: If you get aggravated with what he says, you can close the book and reopen it when you're ready for brutal honesty.

This book has a little bit of useful information for anyone above the beginner level. Very little. The book can be repetitive and the bizarre pictures just distract from the content. And the author is not even a graphic designer! I would think that would be a requirement to write a book of this kind. The author is simply not very qualified to write a book on web design.

I just recently purchased this book from an Amazon seller. Not knowing much about the wireless world this one sounded perfect. I enjoyed it. Picked up a lot of insights I'd no clue of before I read it. Admittedly, it's a little bit long in the tooth (copyright 2005) still, for us clueless, it's a big help. Parts really don't relate to my interests (wireless entertainment hookup and a few others) but it is a real help both in understanding what's going on in the wireless world as well as a big help in setting up a wireless, secured network in your own home.

quick intro to wireless computing

For the raw beginner in wireless computing, Carter offers quick and easy education. He describes the main modes of usage. This is mostly a hardware book, because you have to decide what types of devices you need to buy, to enable your wireless interaction. The text is pitched towards someone on her own; doing personal computing in her home or small office, and without a tech staff to ask for help.
Significant space is also devoted to using your laptop in a wireless mode when travelling. Be careful about exposing your communications as clear text, that can easily be evesdropped by anyone nearby. But Carter shows how if you drive about a typical American city, you can often find WiFi hotspots that are free to connect to. (Though sometimes this might be inadvertant on the part of their owners!)
