Customer Reviews

Excellent teaching text book
This book has been adopted by us (and other colleges) because it is an excellent introduction to ASP at the beginner level, for 1-credit courses. The book is well built up, pedagogically correct and at a price that suits the students pocket. It covers ASP with both JavaScript and VBScript, inc files, IIS, PWS4, ODBC, SQL, Access, the object model and contains a useful capter on debugging. Recommended for all teachers (and students). Why is this book not in amazon.co.uk?

Wonderful introduction!
By using this simple book you too can get a toe into the ASP waters. Keep in mind the fact that this is a beginner's book. However, sometimes assumptions are made that might not be accurate for a beginner.

Nevertheless, an excellent book. It is small enough to be fully read (and exercised) in a weekend. At the price, it's a real bargain. And while I'm not the "book learnin" type, I found the sparse yet understable text to give me the information I needed. It's no bible of info, but just an introductory course...

Great starter book
This book teaches the basics in a way I have seen no other programming book do it. I actually "learned" something instead of just reading examples and then wondering why it all worked. This book is short and easy to read, and the problems it gives you forces you to learn ASP. A great book, one of my favorites out of 6 ASP books.
