Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Beginning Components for ASP is an intermediate title in the Wroxline of Active Server Pages guides. This volume is intended for developers comfortable with ASP who are interested in leveraging the power of component-based applications. The two key development languages for components--Visual Basic and C++--are addressed in this work.
Visual Basic component development is handled first with an excellent introduction to components and class development in VB. The authors then explain the interconnection of ADO, UDA, and COM in a chapter that lays the foundation for a solid understanding of how components work. From there the authors discuss big picture application design issues such as n-tier architecture. The text utilises concise code examples and frequent headings that make the book very useful for quick reference as you hone your component skills.
Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) and resource management are addressed and the authors show what you must do to make your components work with MTS. The first of two sophisticated case studies in the book--a document management system--illustrates how to work with XML with components. This example is lengthy but very informative since the authors take the time to explain each section. A second similar case study presents a fictitious movie theatre application. These real-world examples, coupled with the structured tutorial content, make this guide a perfect way to get on the component bandwagon. --Stephen W. Plain
Topics covered: Components and hosting environments, VB & C++ component development, UDA, ADO, COM, MTS, scalability, resource management, directory access with ADSI, C++ components with the Active Template Library, threading and OLE DB access with ATL.
Book Description
ASP components are the next stage for the maturing ASP programmer. They reflect a need for bespoke and fine control over site activity. For example, when a basic ASP site wishes to have some sort of transactional ability, where a database will ultimately be referred to or some business rule checked against, then a custom component will do the job. This component could be written in VB,VC or Java and is hermetic and maintainable.
This book is about the broad flavors of common components, how they should fit an architecture and how to write them correctly.

It got me started better than the Shelley Powers book,
By Howler (Halifax, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beginning Components for ASP (Programmer to programmer) (Paperback)
It's over-wordy and it hasn't been properly proof-read. However, I keep on buying Wrox books because they are practical and the code is explained in detail.This book is more likely to get you started with Component development than the Shelley Powers book (though I'm not criticising it). Contrary to a previous review the examples do work. Also, contrary to a previous review the book does show you how to call up your components from web pages. Does it teach you how to create a complete component-based ASP e-commerce web site ? No, of course not ; it never set out to do that. If it had been proof-read I would have given it 4 stars.

Nice Intro to COM and Components,
By A Customer
This review is from: Beginning Components for ASP (Programmer to programmer) (Paperback)
As a reasonable ASP programmer, I found this book really helped me understand why I should probably be using components. It then demonstrated how I could use components, and make use of what the ASP object model, MTS, ADSI etc have to offer. I dont think it is a complete beginners book, as some topics are very deep and detailed. I'd therefore recommended it to all ASP programmers, newbies or old timers. I look forward to the 2nd edition and/or follow up. Well done Wrox!

Brilliant on Ole Db, MTS and C++ ATL components.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Beginning Components for ASP (Programmer to programmer) (Paperback)
A must for anybody to get especially if you are using C++. The Ole Db stuff alone is worth the price of this book as it is so well explained compared to other Ole Db books.
