 Fantastic ASP DB Reference
I picked up this book while developing ASP with an Access backend for my own web site. I found this to be a terrific reference to learn how to communicate with ADO and it made database access/updating a snap!!
br /
br /With the switch to ASP.NET and henceforth ADO.NET this book isn't as necessary as in the past (the author has a new book relating to this very topic), but if you are running ASP on your web server and need to communicate with Access or SQL Server you will not be disappointed!! My only complaint relates to the fact that nearly every example is written in VB and not JScript. I find Jscript to be a better server side language to use in the pre .NET world and would have liked it more if the author had mixed up the examples he uses in this book. Aside from that, the book is wonderfully organized and I found it to be very useful.

 A Must Buy for Beginners!!
As a web designer, I've always wanted to learn how to use ASP to access database records and use them in my projects. This book has given some great instruction and examples that will help beginners start a foundation of good coding and functions that they will use all the time. Thanks so much!
Perfect book for a Beginner or Intermediate Developer
This book is not just for a beginner....I include intermediate ASP developers as well.
br /
br /This book is perfect for a beginner though. It explains stuff in not too much detail but enough to understand the full explanation of how to do real-life transactions and a good bulk of what you need to know in Web Development. I'd say this book brings you to an intermediate level after you are done. The advanced levels come in when you start doing sessions and stuff like that.
br /
br /What is really nice is that this guy knows what it is like to be a developer for a company and the pains you go through. His examples are examples I've been able to understand, therefore my knowledge of ASP at work becomes better and this is the reference book I use most.
br /
br /He gives a nice list of common errors in ASP which can drive you nuts if you haven't really got down all the basics..and often you forget the simplest things. On p. 232, he lists each error and a brief description of why you could possibly be getting this...and he's right. If you get any of these errors, just whip out this page and save yourself 10-30 minutes or more of frustration with ASP.
br /
br /
br /Even though .NET is here, if you are still developing in ASP, this book may be old but the syntax hasn't changed so buy it if you can still get your hands on it!
br /
br /The whole book is great....a must have for even an intermedate developer......and a great beginner book also.
Excellent Book
Although I had an advanced degree in Computer Science all my project experience was in the field of non-web-based application development. So when I entered the web application development market I needed a fast paced book to teach me how to convert my skills from the usual database development to a web based one.
br /
br /Although many online articles were helpful this book was the reason I understood many concepts.
br /
br /Its a perfect book for a beginner but if you are already experienced in programming/databases this wouldn't be a bad place to start off web development in ASP (this is not ASP.NET).
The Real ASP Bible
This book took me from Frontpage Websites to being a real website developer. I've gone back to it hundreds of times. This is the Moby Dick of the ASP coding world.
