Most literature on e-business falls under two categories: books for pratictioners, full of programming and system configuration examples, and economics essays aimed at executives and businessmen in general.
This book is different, and I strongly reccommend it to those who seek the computer scientists' point of view on e-business and its relationship with ongoing research in human-centered computer technology.
Human-centered computing is, according to many, one of the most exciting research areas in CS. Check out this book to understand what it us.

Though hard to find, this book is well worth the search! I came away from the text feeling that I had the knowledge I required about the Linux tools I needed to create an E-Commerce site.

Seldom does one encounter a technical book that one wants to read every word of. This book is an exception to that rule: the writers (a husband and wife team) had an engaging, witty way with words that flowed well between the chapters. Without sacrificing substance for style, they presented the information in a well-thought out and direct manner.

I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in Linux E-Commerce solutions!

The author has examined investing from many different angles to provide you with access to helpful investment information that you would probably never find otherwise. When you do searches for investment related sites, you get back thousands of references. Using this guide, you can pick a few outstanding sites in areas you are interested and investigate them to find the one or ones that best fit your needs.

For stocks, this book tells you where to find out about each market in the world, stock picking and trading strategies (including day trading), research and analysis, IPOs, and quotes. A similar level of detail is available for bonds, options, commodities, and mutual funds. Other sections cover important topics like money management (debt, savings, financial planning, tax planning, banking, and insurance), on-line security, and investment clubs.

Each section lists a large number of sites. You can obviously go to all of them if you want to. But for some, a brief summary is provided in the back of the book. These are marked, so you can decide if you want a little more information before going to a site. Probably, though, it would be faster just to go to the site. One of the beauties of this information is that it will save you a lot of clicking, because you get the right page reference for the part of the site that you are interested in. That was really neat!

In all but a few sections, the author has picked out 1-3 as an "Editor's Choice Site" meaning that these are more highly recommended. Many of these are reproduced in the book so you can get a sense of what's there. This can save you futher time.

I spend a lot of time looking at investments on the Internet, but this book introduced me to a large number of helpful sites that I had not been to before. If I make just one invetment better, the price of the book will be a pittance compared to the benefit.

If you are an investment beginner, I recommend that you read books like Rich Dad, Poor Dad; How to Buy Stocks; ChangeWave Investing; and Common Sense about Mutual Funds before using this wonderful guide.

If you are an experienced investor, dive right in. Undoubtedly, there is some part of investing that you are skimping on. With these on-line resources, you can fill in those gaps profitably. My one quibble with the book is that it could have done a little more to make it clearer about which sites are free for which services, and what you have to pay for. In general, this is described, but being a cheap investor (see my review of Scrooge Investing) I just like to use the free resources. So I will spend some time here at sites that cost money, before realizing that I need not return.

Obviously, a book like this will quickly become obsolete, so get it now and use it now!

After you start using this great guide, I suggest that you think about other areas in your life where you may not be fully using on-line resources. How about career planning, job hunting, starting a business, buying items you use everyday, planning trips, getting custom products, and solving problems? You should then find ways to make the Internet help you in those areas as well. Otherwise, the loss is yours! The Internet can provide the basics for developing many 2,000 percent solutions!

The book provides indepth knowledge about the 'how and why' of the growth of entrepreneurs in Gujarat, India. It is a must read for researchers and scholars interested in rigorous analysis and historical facts regarding entrepreneurs.

Covering topics as diverse as National Policy, Electronic Commerce and Education, this book provides valuable insights into information technology in the Asia Pacific region. The editors have achieved a useful and interesting book by bringing together papers from authors with a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences.

I have read a lot of "vanilla" books on the Internet and technology. This is the first book with some excitement to it and some very interesting issues addressed by these CTOs. A great book for both techies and business executives....

A truly excellent book-these exec's know what they are talking about. It is amazing the way deals are done in the Internet space-yet they are still based on all the same common principles as old world deals. This book highlights both and gives great insights into the ways these exec's handle their deals.

As an Internet investor and financial professional, I found this book very interesting on a lot of levels. Especially interesting is the way CFOs value other companies and decide how to allocate budgets for projects. Definitely worth reading....
