Average Rating: 
Rating: - Good Book
Its not a reference book so don't expect it to have everything on the subject. A good book though, you can read this book through and through. I judge such books on whether I get something useful out of reading them. No book and no writer is perfect, the technology being discussed in not perfect either, so try not to keep your hopes up.
Not everything in TAPI works!
But this books walks you through the TAPI programming taking a very easy to follow approach, you feel like you are ambling ... Read More
Rating: - Good Book for Experience C programmers
I was forced into a postion at work where I needed to learn to work with TAPI very quickly. This book was a great help in my understanding how TAPI worked so I could develop a TAPI driver.
Rating: - High scores on a book well written
The "Developers Guide to TAPI" provides an introduction and selected advanced topics for the windows developer who is a TAPI novice. As a dyed in the wool "C" hacker, I found Mr. Sells C++ class library somewhat confusing, but this shortcoming is mine and not Mr. Sells.
I believe that the technical material, examples and the method of presentation is a great deal more user friendly than much of the content of the MSDN library series to which I have been a subscriber and user.
Rating: - Save your money and read the Platform SDK instead
OK, I'll be generous. This book might contain some useful information. I think the main benefit is that it's written in a more relaxed style than the Microsoft Platform SDK, and the author fills in the details a little better than Microsoft. Still, he misses a lot of important points, like (for instance) how to actually get something useful like a serial port file handle out of a telephone connection once it's established. But I give him an extra star for at least trying to write something helpful. Read More
Rating: - A Great Book for TAPI Programming
Well done on the author Chris Sells.
A tiny simple book with huge complexity of coding on it. Great efforts in simplifiying many of the mysterious coding in TAPI- where Microsoft had missed. It's a gateway for further TAPI development for Pros. Good source of supports as well.
Looking forwards for the author's next "TAPI 3.0 book" comming...
