Master Visually Windows Server 2003
Master Visually Windows Server 2003 was published in February 2005 by Wiley. It was my first book as the sole author and I learned a great deal about writing and publishing from the experience. To quote from Processor.com's April 2005 review of the book: Author James Pyles' hands-on experience is evident throughout the book. Concise instructions and images walk the reader through common tasks such as configuring a secure server, creating applications, setting up site links and bridges, managing devices and drivers, and building Internet connections.
