Review by Billy Barron

"Netscape One Sourcebook" by Donald Brewer (Wiley Computer Publishing; ISBNs 0-471-18146-3) is another volume in the usually excellent Sourcebook series. This book is really geared towards a site who uses Netscape's servers as well as their clients. If you run Apache, IIS, or some other server suite on the backend, this book may be of limited use to you.

The book has chapters on Netscape Communicator, SuiteSpot, ActiveX, JavaScript, IFC, LiveConnect, AppFoundry, CORBA, and Java Objects. It is the only book I've seen that gives such breadth of coverage to all these topics. The writing seems to be very solid too.

Overall, this is a pretty good book and recommend to these of you who are Netscape server sites.
