[Asterisk-Users] Mahler's Book - New Project

[Nathan C. Smith]

It won't pay to try to do anything too quickly with Asterisk.  You will want
to take your time and learn the ropes, like somebody else suggested, setting
a system up with a telephony card and some inexpensive phones or ATAs will
show you what you are in for.
 
I bought Mr. Mahler's book and contrary to the comments of others I found it
useful, unfortunately it can't be definitive because Asterisk is changing so
fast.  It helped me with some new paradigms like extensions and contexts
that seemed to be approached differently in asterisk than in other products.
YMMV.
 
Once you have a basic framework of knowledge you will find the wiki and the
lists and list archives are your best references.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Mahler's Book - New Project


Hi all,
 
I'm currently gearing up for a possible PBX replacement project using
Asterisk, and I'm just breaching the iceberg of information that's
available.  I typically like to have something thick with pages in front of
me.  Mahler's book was the first one to come up and it seems like a good
place to start.  However, the big name bookstores tell me it'll take up to
three weeks, and this project simply can't endure that wait.  Does anyone
know where it's possible to get a paper copy *quickly*?
 
#2, I'm planning to interface Asterisk with a Norstar MICS via PRI.  Can
anyone recommend a reference book or site more suited to this task?
 
Thanks and regards,

David Stude
