Format:Paperback
As someone who is learning ASP for the first time, using the DIY method, the title certainly appealed. Unfortunately, this book is a big disappointment. The first 76 pages contained too much unhelpful narrative. Only at page 77 do you reach the first ASP application example. This pattern is repeated throughout the book, with seemingly irrelevant,confusing passages and comparatively little practical application. I need the basics, but still don't know if they exist within the text somewhere. I've wasted money...if you are a beginner don't do the same!!

Lots of errors
6 Nov 2000
Format:Paperback
This book skips over lots of important points making it very difficult to follow. There are lots of errors and the downloadable scripts often don't work. This leads to lots of frustration. Don't bother buying it.

Inconsistent
20 Oct 2000
Format:Paperback
Well this book starts of great. The first 3 chapters are very nice and straight forward to follow. After that though, the book jumps around ALOT, and is very hard to follow. Lots of liitle details are left out in order to save pages. The examples in the book are downloadable off the Internet don't always work. This book needs to be written clearer and more detailed. I was very very frustrated with the book and strongly not recommend the book to other readers.

Not for first-time programmers
2 Dec 2000
Format:Paperback
Though this book bills itself as providing "essential skills for first-time programmers," a look at Module 2 should convince you otherwise. As the author explains, ASP is a technology and not a programming language, so to use active server pages you'll have to become familiar with a scripting language such as VBScript or JScript. But Module 2 will stop you dead in your beginner's tracks, when under the heading "VBScript Basics," the author declares in the third paragraph, "Variables can be declared anywhere within code, simply by using the Dim statement. However, it is wise to use the Option Explicit statement (<% Option Explicit Dim var1, var 2 %>) at the beginning of your code, because it forbids the use of variable names that have not been explicitly dimensioned." Good luck.
