OpenSolaris Bible Samples
A comment on my last post noted that there were no
sample chapters available for the book, however I just
noticed that Wiley has posted some samples on the
book's
webpage.
The samples include chapter one, the index, and the detailed table of contents.
The index and TOC are probably the best sections for getting a feel for the material in the book. This is actually the first time I've seen the index myself, since it was produced after we finished writing and the final pages were nailed down. I haven't reviewed it closely yet, but at first glance it looks to be pretty comprehensive at 35 pages. I've always thought that the index was critical for a book like this. The detailed TOC is also useful for getting a sense of the topics covered in each chapter.

Great!
Beside this: as I wrote my last comment there weren't any excerpts on Wiley's page. The index delivers the best overview.

The links for Index and Table of contents are mixed up.
