Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Active Server Pages (ASP) technology represents, in most cases, the best server-side scripting choice for intranets, extranets and public Web sites served by Windows NT and Internet Information Server (IIS). Instant ASP Scripts provides network administrators with a crash course in ASP work, along with a considerable library of ready-to-use scripts.
An initial ASP tutorial explains the basics of the language but the really interesting educational material accompanies the scripts in the library. With each program, the author comments upon whatever interesting trick she's used, excerpting the code as needed. The book touches on pretty much everything ASP can do (including its considerable power to interact with databases).
The library includes a script that runs a suggestion box, another that runs a vote counter, one that files requests for purchase orders and a whole bunch of calculators. You'll also find scripts for rotating banner ads, a script that walks the surfer through a troubleshooting tree and a script that tracks vacation time. Rather than pad his book with gee-whiz scripts having little practical value, Greg Buczec has built a collection of scripts that are useful as they are and can be modified to fit other situations (all the code appears on the companion CD-ROM). --David Wall --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description
Active Server Pages are dynamic web pages that are capable of changing everytime they are viewed. ASP scripts run on the server side. This volume is designed to serve as a cookbook of instant ASP scripts ready to be placed on an Internet server.

A superb book full of solid code, clear explanations and a useful CD containing all the examples. Probably the best and easiest instant introduction into ASP you'll find.

Greg's book has got me nearly as far as buying a ready-made ASP application for £3000 would have done. I dragged and dropped Gregs files from the CD with the book onto a "Visual Interdeveloper" Project, ran the script, and up came the ASP Page as a working application with minimal debugging. When I did get stuck with something, I emailed Greg and he came to the rescue personally almost immediately! I also learned a lot from Greg's amazingly efficient coding style - Brilliant service and value - Thanks Greg!

As a beginner who had completed a course in ASP I wanted to take things a step further. This book provides source code and explanations....but it fails to teach. I would use this book as a guide and also a place for ideas. Not for the beginner, although the book starts of at a slow pace it soon takes off. Recommend this book for intermediates.

Focussed exclusively on SQL Server
This book is a brilliant source of ideas and potential. Many of the ideas are 'old hat' but serve as excellent jumping-off points. Read more

Great Book with a couple of exceptions.
This is a really good book, there are just a couple of things that detracted from the enjoyment that is possible. Read more

The ONLY ASP book you will need
Truly the best book I have seen on writing scripts. The author gives you the script, and then breaks it down line by line and explains how it works. Read more
