It’s been a long road to get to this point in the book. You’ve almost reached the end, but certainly not the end of IIS. You’ve gone beyond the basics, you’ve learned and experienced IIS administration, and you’re equipped with the knowledge to go further to support your web administration career. This short chapter won’t take you a whole lunch to read, but hopefully you’ll return to it often when you’re looking for additional resources to help you work with IIS.
I include books and websites that will help you go beyond this book to advance your skills in PowerShell, and I offer additional IIS references. In this chapter I want to point you in the right direction to find out more about IIS to support your environment and become a better web administrator. I’ll try not to ramble, but let’s talk about the inadvertent IIS administrator one more time.
The inadvertent IIS administrator has a busy work day, often spent putting out fires, and in some cases putting out fires he or she started. If you’re an IIS administrator, you’re probably responsible for many products and applications on your network and don’t have much spare time. Although the goal of this book is to help a new IIS administrator learn the ropes, the learning never ends. It’s time for you to explore and advance your IIS and web knowledge even further.
