November 4, 1997, on How to be a Web Whore Just Like Me:
Database Backed Web Sites is the reality behind the hype! We have distributed this book throughout our organization because it not only gives details on Web publishing, but gives the reader a feel for the "social environment" of the Web. It is much more than a book about Web databases, although that is what is really driving Web development. Our managers as well as our technicians and programmers enjoyed the book because it is written in an enjoyable, humorous way. We not only use it as a reference, but we all find ourselves going back to read passages and compare our own experiences to incidents mentioned in the book. The only problem is the title. It doesn't really do justice to the wealth of information and enjoyment that any reader will experience.
