Mastering Active Server Pages 3 [With CDROM]

Este libro realmente me abrio las puertas del mercado laboral, consegui un trabajo impresinoante como programador experto en ASP, la tengo dominada gracias a este libro.Gracias Russell !!!!!

This is a great overall book. I had a solid background in HTML, JavaScript, ect, and had done just a couple of things when I bought this.It's great to learn key concepts as well as to find the syntax for what you want to do. I've used several other asp books, namly the wrox beg and advanced, and I prefer this one.Even though the book's huge, I still have to look stuff up in other books or online, but that's to be expected. I wish he went into sql a little more.Recommended.

I was a raw beginner to ASP when I bought this book, I couldn't even read and write to a text file. This book covers starts at the very beginning with HTML and develops into scripting and then into ASP itself.It is an excellent reference tool. It covers the ASP Objects (Request, Response, Sessions, etc.) and succinctly covers the methods and properties by listing them in charts and exampling the fundamental use of the Objects using code samples.This book also covers CDONTS, which is an Object that can be used to send email via ASP code. CDONTS comes with IIS 4.0 or better. As well as several other optional Objects that ship with IIS.Want to connect to an Access Database? No problem, this book covers the ADODB Object and also covers rudimentary SQL to construct queries. There is also an Instant Reference available from the same author that is handy, when you don't want to lug around a big book!

Thirty chapters of very well taught material. The first half of the book is a very clear introduction to the ASP environment and how to use the intrinsic objects. The second covers other scripting objects, ADO, MTS, XML and how to plan your web site for scalability. The many code examples on the CD are concise, efficient, and scalable. I refer to them frequently. Although the book contains many examples of accessing databases through ADO in VBScript, he points out that this kind of thing is done much more efficiently in a COM component. He shows how to build VB COM components and how to use them in MTS through ASP. Most of the code is in VBScript; however, the surprising inclusion of JScript client side scripting and XML client and server side programming make for a very pleasant and well rounded learning experience. After bringing it to work, two coworkers also ordered it. I cannot think of a better recommendation than that.

Very readable and useful. This is the most complete ASP book I've read so far. Unlike many ASP books, it doesn't just rehash the on-line documentation. It covers everything you need--VBScript, JavaScript, ADO, using and building COM components, MTS/COM+ and even shows you how to get started with XML.
