5.0 out of 5 stars Simply fantastic, 21 Dec 1998
By A Customer
Jose Alvear writes clearly and concisely while explaining the ins and outs of providing multimedia content on the Internet. The content is technical enough for techies, but written clearly enough for non-techies.

An overview of products available to create and deliver multimedia (audio/video)via the net is provided...from free to mildly expensive...it's all covered.

The issues of interoperability are addressed without condemning any one or any company.

The book is well-worth having on your bookshelf.
