Customer Reviews

Fantastic beginner to intermediate reference!

I really liked how well organized this book was. I learned some new html tricks in the advanced html section, and was able to apply some of the VB script information right away - important for impatient beginners like me :-).

An Excellent Reference for ASP Beginners

This book has become an invaluable asset in my programming library. As a long time HTML developer who has worked with pretty much every aspect of Internet development I find this book a welcome reference piece on a weekly (or at least monthly) basis. It starts you off with some fairly basic examples of how to install and configure NT, IIS and SQL Server...then moves into a remedial HTML reference section that might seem a bit newbie-esque to the advanced developer. But don't worry, the book more than delivers in later sections discussing such things as Active X objects, recordsets, even getting into how to use MS Visual Interdev, an ASP development tool. Overall, this is a must read book for anyone who would like to get into Active Server Pages development. It appears that the content is geared more toward the Internet development newbie, but the book is very well organized, so grabbing exactly the information you need is quick and easy (if you're a net pro already). This book is among 5-6 absolute must read books on Internet development in my library. Grab a copy today, you won't be disappointed.

Concised, Comprehensive & ... Excellent

I found the book quite useful as a reference. You will certainly learn some realy useful and essential stuff in this book. Although the examples are in VBScript the author shows sometimes examples in JScript also, nd about the JavaScript on the back and JScript inside is because ASP will always use JScript if you specify JavaScript, it's a micro$oft invention! and the differences are minor.

Most complete ASP book

This book is the most complete ASP book on the market as of 10/19/98 and the easiest to understand. The author devotes 5 chapters to database access with an SQL server.I like how the book is broken into parts. If you want to learn database access and ADO, you read that section. If you want to learn more about navigation, read the Content Linking chapter. This book also includes pretty good references for VBScript, JSCript, and HTML.It has a pretty hefty price tag, but it is defintely a complete ASP book.

Having been reading for 10 books, I found this most useful.

A lot of books about ASP technology have published. Most of them just beat about the bushes. This ASP by Unleashed get right to the point. An ASP beginner could learn every crucial step right away. Stephen Walther have a solid background about Web technology. But he explicits in a rather easy way. A cross-reference system is well-built. Users could reach the solution when a problem is encountered.
