1.0 out of 5 stars Spolit by errors, vagueness and bad organisation, 28 Feb 2000
By A Customer
On first impressions, this book looks good, but having actually followed the examples I have found that many simply don't work. For example, passing a parameter to a recordset. The example says that you can write [parameter] in the SQL code. Utter rubbish -- it doesn't work like that. Not only does it give a wrong example, the book then fails to explain the concepts that would enable you to figure out how to do it properly.

After coming up against that hurdle and being unable to figure it out (I spent a day trying) I decided to give up on Visual Interdev and write ASPs by hand.

Also, the book is written like a MS advertising leaflet -- "bla bla bla technology makes it easy to do x,y and z". It then fails to explain how or to give any examples, or at least any examples that work.

1.0 out of 5 stars Redundant and scatter brained!, 7 Sep 1999
By A Customer
The book needs a much better flow. Some of the examples will not work as presented.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money, 22 Jul 1999
By A Customer
I am a VB programmer and have read a lot of computer books in my time. This one is not only poorly written but many of the examples do not work. This alone is very frustrating and wastes a lot of time. I tried to read this book twice and have finally given up. Take my advise, buy another book to learn VI and ASP!

I have bought quite a number of Sams Teach Yourself books in an attempt to, well, teach myself various technologies and this one "takes the biscuit". Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars A lot of fluff without much substance
This book is written in a manner that is hard to follow. I often got the impression that the author was merely trying to fill up pages rather than convey a specific point. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Some good ideas but lacking good examples

1.0 out of 5 stars Too General
I skiped the first 5 chapters of this book. The author gives very little examples. Always talk about the general functions in InterDev. Very frustrating and hard to follow.
