Good for beginners; Slow and repetative for advancedTuesday, July 20, 2004
If you don't have any Visual Basic experience and/or much web development experience and you're looking for a book to get you in the door to ASP 3.0, this is the book for you. However, if you have a fuller programming background, you may find it tediously repetative and lacking in full scope coverage. For instance, there is no space given to handling XML.
On the bright side, I found it pretty easy to breeze through sections where I had familiarity.

A great learning tool for ASP beginners...Saturday, June 26, 2004
...and a great reference for the advanced programmers.
This was the first ASP book I bought when I began to learn the language two years ago. It has an excellent tutorial methodology to it which is very easy to comprehend. It is also well written by two guys that know what they're talking about! (You can visit their web site at 4guysfromrolla.com)
Even though I have since purchased several other books on the subject (hoping to expand my knowledge base), I continue to find myself referring back to this one. Granted, this book is certainly not the be-all for Active Server Pages, and I have not found one that is, however, it is by far the one to begin with and hang on to.
FIVE STARS ALL THE WAY! I definitely recommend this book!

Beginners ParadiseWednesday, February 04, 2004
Excellent stuff if you are a beginner.
For advanced junta, there are other hard-core books on ASP, forget this one.
Actually this book is only for beginners. If you know nothing about ASP then this one is for you. I am not sure that you will be able to do any advanced scripting with this one, but if you are a newcomer to scripting world or ASP then this is the ultimate choice.
Everything is explained in a simple manner. Starting from the basics of ASP to VBScript, Objects - Session, Server etc, File System Object and to Databases, everything is explained keeping "beginners woes" in mind.
There are lots of examples that help you to grasp the VBScript and ASP.
Must buy for a beginner.
If you want to enter ASP, then this is the first step. GO GET IT !!!.

Excellent bookTuesday, December 09, 2003
This book is epitome of how all textbooks should be written. This is the kind of book I am used to getting from SAMS publishing.
You can tell the authors took their time and did not appear to be trying to beat a deadline as one of SAMS other books I purchased recently.
If you do not know ASP read this book and you will be very, very comfortable with it when you are done. This book makes you want to start coding web pages immediately. You just want to wallpaper the Internet with your ASP pages.
What can i say, a great bookMonday, November 17, 2003
Anyone who is looking for an easy introduction to ASP but also wants to know how to do almost anything with it, this is the book. It starts with the basics, gives you code examples and more than one example of how do to things, worked into day blocks, so if you have a spare 3 weeks you can set yourself work for each day. Good Index so you can find what you are looking for and well layed out.
Thoroughly recommend this book
