Customer Reviews

Good reference!

The concepts introduced in this book are very clear and easy to understand. The performance chapter needs more reference

Good Reference Book

Very good reference book. This is what I learned ASP from. Intended for an intermediate programmer with knowledge of programming and uses vbscript examples. So if you know VBScript already, this book will get you programming ASP in no time. One thing that this book lacks is a language reference. Other than that it's great.

Jump Starts Your Web Development Skills

This book did me good. As an independent consultant, I have to constantly retrain at my own expense. In a few nights, I read 200 pages and was building small ASP database applications. It is worth a lot more than I paid for it. ASP 2.0 is very organized. It covers the basics from setting up the ASP environment to how to organize a good ASP application. While advertised as a programmer's reference, it has a lot more than just lists of objects and methods. It was enough to bridge me from C++ gunslinger to ASP pea-shooter. I found it thorough to an appropriate level, fast to read, and with a focus on performance. It does expect you to pick up VBScript yourself, but there are enough code snippets that I managed without having ever used VB more than a day. They can't cover every detail in a book of this brevity and I'm glad they didn't. If they did, I'd still be reading and not writing code.

Very Helpful

I found the book very helpful. The examples are quick and to the point and I found them much more useful in my day-to-day work then the more convoluted "application" examples given in many of the other ASP books. This is not to say ASP 2.0 Prog. Ref. replaces those books only that the book does succeed as a great reference guide.I did not find the chapter format to be a problem as items seem to fall into the chapters rather logically.I find myself using the book more and more and think it is well worth the money.
