Update: Professional Commerce Server 2007
04/13/2008 - Please see this post for information regarding this book.
It has been awhile since I last posted about the status of the book Professional Commerce Server 2007, so I thought I’d share some news and exciting developments.
First of all, I am very happy to announce that Tom Schultz has agreed to participate in writing the book and will author a number of chapters. Tom is a senior consultant with the Microsoft Consulting Services (MCS), and is particularly focused on e-commerce and the Commerce Server product. Tom’s extensive real world knowledge and expertise will bring tremendous value to this book, and I am really excited to work with him.
The book is on schedule and still targeted to hit the shelves in Q1, 2008.

Tom and I will continue to work diligently on finalizing the content of the book. Our goal is to provide our peers (i.e. you!) with the knowledge required to successfully architect, implement, deploy, and support enterprise solutions using Commerce Server 2007.
Dear Friends
I worked with Commerce Server 2007 and previous versions starting Commerce Server 2000. You will find some of my activities in my blog, http://dr-ahmedhassan.blogspot.com.
I am very interested to know that the book is expected in Q1. I want to know if I can review the book as a peer review or beta tester of the contents.
i want to see the sql reporting implementation
Dear Wade Wegner,
The table of contenets looks good from the developer prospective. Having this knowledge, a developer can work on commerce server, but to give more effective knowledge, try to keep ecommece conecpts (compain mgmt, loyality programs, email marketing, comparision shopping, , pre order, back order, typical order tracking, etc…) as chapter 1.
As a commerce server developer, I would like to have more coverage in staging, command line tools, extension of commerce server sub systems, etc and I personally feel knowledge on SQL reporting services, data ware housing is not required to be part of this book.
