I was fortunate enough to be asked to contribute to a new book focused on IIS 7.0. I thought this would be a great way to dive deep into the product which would in turn help me sell the platform as Windows Server 2008 comes out (although the book focuses on Windows Vista). The final name of the book is “How to Cheat at IIS 7 Server Administration“. The target audience for this book is the IT generalist that is looking to quickly learn IIS 7 and perform the standard operational and support function. This was my first time contributing to a book and it was quite the effort. It took up many nights and weekends, plus I had a two week deadline (that was rough). I may contribute again in the future, but I’ll have a better idea of what I’m getting into and plan accordingly (with my family that is).
Chris Adams was the Technical Editor and I was one of the contributing authors and I produced Chapter 6: Troubleshooting 101. Although I’m not listed as an official author, my name is printed on the cover of the book and I’m listed as a contributor within the book as well.
