Title: A Microsoft-centric guide to using jabber clients
Review: First of all, the title here is misleading. There are some snippets walking the reader through Visual Basic code, but the concepts and protocols (JEPs, XMPP, etc.) are noticeably absent. I honestly was able to read the book in a couple of hours (nothing challenging or meaty here) and found it a waste of my time. If you are having trouble installing Jabber clients, this may be a useful resource since the real focus of the book seems to be this very topic. However, the information included is also dated. Here is my recommendation: if you are looking for a decent Jabber book, start with the O'Reilly one.
Is the review positive or negative?
