Must have for anyone working with AD

A must have book for dealing with AD. I primarily bought book for some scripting help with AD, however, after seeing book, it's great whether you are using Command Line, GUI, VB, or Perl (from web site). The discussion after each topic is also very informative. So no matter what method you are using, this book will describe how to do it.

A very average book

I have been working on Oracle apps for a year and I bought this book hoping to get more insight. But was very disappointed by the contents of the book. I feel that even for a biggener this book is not of much help.

Best Certification Book Available

Before I decided on a book to help me study for the Java 2 Certification exam I looked around. This book was definitely the best book available. After reading this book I took the Java 2 Certification exam and got a 97% (no lie). It is a very detailed book and has great examples. I found other books (especially the one by Roberts, Heller, et al.) to be full of fluff -- some of which is incorrect. This book is very accurate. I found only a couple very minor errors. If you want to pass the Cert Test, read this book and take notes. You will pass the test. Don't bother buying any other book. This one the absolute best available.BTW, this book has chapters on Swing and javadoc, neither of which were covered on the Cert exam so you can ignore these chapters if you like.
