Summary: SOMEONE PLEASE WRITE A BOOK ON VSS
Comment: I truly wish that someone would write a book on how to successfully implement version and file control with Visual SourceSafe. There are NO books about it anywhere. Please, if you have any knowledge of VSS, write a book, a primer or even a flyer. This book is not helpful at all.

Summary: Microsoft Visual SourceSafe 5.0 not Web Management
Comment: (With all due respect for the other reviewers)

I do not agree with the majority of the assessments offered here, unless your only view point is that of the webmaster or web designer. There are plenty of books on the shelves of book stores and libraries, about Web page and site management, design, and building. Objectively, this book dose not appear to be for that purpose. The title does not suggest that the heart of the book is about Web management, but that Web Management is a casual example of using Vss.

The purpose of Vss is not to build web pages or sites. The primary functional purpose of Vss is to track the changes made to a file. The secondary purpose is that of a file manager, of a sort.

How one might use Vss to accomplish any task beyond file management and version tracking, is entirely up to each user of Vss. Any insight, from an outside party, should be viewed as a benefit to the reader. The subjective assessments of the authors' delivery has nothing to do with the material presented.

I have been looking to acquire this book or similar Vss application type renderings. However, this seems to be the only book available, in this regard. From the table of contents, one might imagine that this book might contain adequate information on the subject of Vss and maybe the pitfalls and difficulties with it.

I have installed Vss 5 & 6 and provide the administrative and technical support for 80+ engineers and 20+ programmers, who are working on high end, state of the art technology, real applications. I have found some pitfalls and problems with Vss that I need to remedy. Microsoft will not offer support to anyone without the added costly charge for their service.

It is my humble opinion, that the supplied documentation should include adequate information for the user to read. Then, and only then, if the user needs help, Support Services should be placed into the equation. At that point in time, the user should have no problem with the additional support service charges. However, the Vss information is scattered and sparsely located throughout any documentation that MS supplies with Vss. It would seem that this book might supply the additional needed information, at a fraction of the MS support cost.

If the critical accounts of the subject matter are accurate, then I am disappointed in the authors of this book. If I were a webmaster then I would be discouraged form purchasing this book. However, this book does appear to have the information that I am looking for. I have been unable to locate a copy of this book, in the library, book stores, and e-commerce sellers of this book.

If you have a copy of this book and are interested in selling it to me, then please drop a card or line to me at PB Box 12150, Portland, Oregon 97212-0150.

Summary: Was hoping for more in-depth information regarding SourceSaf
Comment: I was looking for a book to help to programatically integrate SourceSafe with Microsoft apps. ie. VB. This book is essentially a book that tells you you need to use source safe on a large web development project. Not what I needed.
