IIS 7 Implementation and Administration

IIS 7 Implementation and Administration is designed to ease the learning curve for experienced system administrators and other IT professionals, and help them work with Internet application developers using the new tools of IIS 7. It dispenses with common Windows networking technology and concepts that admins already know to concentrate on the crucial skills needed to get up and running quickly with the new product. This book begins by explaining the new interface and basic IIS configuration, and then moves on to ASP.NET configuration. Readers will come to understand the new security model and learn how to work with developers to improve application performance. Special sidebars throughout the book help developers coordinate their efforts with the administrator's configuration and customization of IIS 7. By the time readers finish the book, they will know how to work with IIS 7 and see how much better this product is than anything they've used in the past.
