Format:Paperback
I've read this book on the Safari library, where I've had it checked out since it's release. I've used the examples extensively, the hot desking recipe and explanation of func_odbc in the relational database chapter is excellent. The book is bang up to date and, although some of the content is common, I found it much easier to digest than the previous version.

If you're looking for an accessible, authoritative guide to Asterisk this is it.

The Asterisk book that you MUST own. 26 April 2011
By Karl G. Fife - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Whether you have a passing curiosity about Asterisk or your livelihood depends upon it, this is THE Asterisk book you need on your shelf (or e-reader).

Originally called "Asterisk, The Future of Telephony", the new title is more apropos. Not only is "the future of telephony" a present-day reality, but all earlier editions have been the de-facto definitive guides as well. The third edition welcomes contributions from brilliant mind of Russell Bryant.

Our venture capital fund uses Asterisk to bring competitive advantages to our our portfolio companies. I use Asterisk personally to build "crazy powerful" and fun telephony solutions for myself and family. With the stunning power and versatility of Asterisk, it's no wonder there are more Asterisk servers running than all the Google and Facebook servers in the world!

Good resource to have 31 Oct 2011
By Kolene - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Shipped fast and in mint condition. (I would not hesitate purchasing from this seller again.) This is a good reference book for a wide range of Asterisk users, it walks newbies through set-up step-by-step, but is referenced in such a way that those that are more familiar can cut right to the chase and find what you're looking for quickly. I can highly recommeded this book!
