Summary: Dissapointed-
Comment: I have been developing server applications for some time and I was really dissappointed in this book. This book is for freshers, for people who want to start programming server applications and who have not done it before. If you are an experienced server guy, stay away from this book, except for the last part of the book which deals with security most of the other sections I knew in detail.
But Still I give it three starts because, I wish this book had been released when I started to learn server programming and this book would have saved me lot of time and relieved me a lot of searching.
I still love Jeffery Richter's books, I use Advanced Windows every day and basically is a bible to me.

Summary: A must for a system programmer
Comment: I found this book to be a well-presented and enjoyable read for some very advanced Windows programming concepts. This book thoroughly detailed the following topics: Server/Service development, scalable development techniques (including thread-pooling and scalable I/O), server management tool development, and the most complete security programming coverage I have seen to date. This book is a must buy for anyone who wants to understand the nuts and bolts behind security or server software development in Windows.
Note that this book does not require COM or DCOM knowledge. Even though basic C++ knowledge may be helpful, it's not a prerequisite either. All the samples are easy to follow and written in C.

Summary: Picks up Where Programming Applications Left Off!
Comment: Programming Servers expects the user to have an understanding of development on Windows 32-bit platforms, and this is a good thing, because it gives the reader the chance to jump right into some advanced topics. First the book spends some well-deserved time on the topic of scalable I/O development in Windows. Then it covers service development in great detail, new and advanced developers will pick up some points here. After this, it covers administrative features. Although the administration section is interesting and detailed, it is also the lightest-weight chapters in the book. Following these chapters is the security development section! This section is by no means lightweight, so hold on tight. It covers security from the creation of the very first user account to full blown scalable encrypted communication using industry standard protocols. This section includes an incredibly complete coverage of NT security programming plus dozens of topics totally new to Windows 2000. Just about any developer will increase their understanding Windows with this book.
