Customer Reviews

This book helped me to understand the root of ASPs

This book is the greatest ASP book of all time (in my opinion). Many people have seen my copy and bought their own due to its excellent content. It is a great book for VB developers to start out with ASPs. The only negative point is that interdev 1.0 is used in the examples instead of 6.0. It is better to understand the code though.

GREAT Starting point.

If you are a fairly experienced VB programmer you will cruise right through this book with a good overall understanding of how to port your VB knowlege to ASP. The examples in this book are very good. For just about any task, you can find an example like it, or an example that you can alter slightly in this book

Great book for beginners in ASP

I had to start ASP one year ago. I felt over this book in a bookstore and I never needed an other one. You have to have knowledge in programming and internet-technologies, so if you never have coded anything, forget this book. When you know how to handle Windows NT in the Internet, this book is a must.

A gem in a sea of garbage

After searching fruitlessly for a good book on ASP programming, I finally came across this. It is one of the few technical books I have come across that cover a subject from its basics without insulting the intelligence of the reader. Full of examples, this is a truely informative read.

ASP De-Mystified

Great starting point. The examples are good and code is often analyzed line by line. After reading it, I was ready to understand the examples that come with the ASP installation. If you don't know what ADO does yet, read Ch. 7 and you'll be able to connect and manipulate a database in a couple of hours
